aerosol
Pressurized can contents
An aerosol is a suspension of fine particles or liquid droplets in a gas—mist, fog, and smoke are natural aerosols.
The word commonly refers to pressurized containers that release their contents as a spray: aerosol cans, aerosol deodorant.
In scientific contexts, aerosols include airborne particles that can transmit disease or affect climate.
