aerosolization
Aerosolization is the process of converting a substance into fine particles suspended in air—an aerosol.
The term appears most often in medical and scientific contexts: aerosolization of respiratory droplets, aerosolization of the vaccine for inhalation.
Pathogens that spread through aerosolization can travel farther than those requiring direct contact.
