The term aerosol commonly refers to the mixture of particulates in air, and not to the particulate matter alone. [2] . Examples of natural aerosols are fog, mist or dust.
- Aerosols: Small Particles with Big Climate EffectsWe often think of aerosols as spray paint, insect repellant, or similar substances sprayed from a can. But aerosols are actually small particles or droplets that float in the air, and it turns out these little particles can have big effects on Earth’s climate.

- Aerosols and Their Importance | Earth - NASAAerosols are small particles suspended in the atmosphere. They are often not or barely visible to the human eye, yet their impact on climate, weather, health, and ecology are significant. This page introduces the various major types of aerosols, and explains why researching them is important.

The bulk of aerosols—about 90 percent by mass—have natural origins. Volcanoes, for example, eject huge columns of ash into the air, as well as sulfur dioxide and other gases, yielding sulfates.
