The term aerosol, derives from the fact that matter "floating" in air is a suspension (a mixture in which solid or liquid or combined solid-liquid particles are suspended in a Fluid ). To differentiate Suspension s from true Solution s, the term '''sol''' evolved—originally meant to cover Dispersions of tiny (sub-microscopic) particles in a liquid. With studies of dispersions in air, the term aerosol evolved and now embraces both liquid Droplets , solid particles, and combinations of these. An aerosol can come from a volcano or an aerosol can.
