Etymology
The word 'aerosol' originates from the Latin word 'aer', meaning 'air', and the Greek word 'sol', meaning 'solution'. The concept of aerosols has been known since ancient times, but the term itself was first used in the 1920s to describe pressurized containers releasing fine sprays. Aerosols have various applications in industries such as cosmetics, paints, and pharmaceuticals, as well as in environmental studies.
