Question
What is colloid? What is aerosol? How do they pollute air?

A colloid is a mixture in which one substance is dispersed evenly throughout another substance, forming a homogeneous solution.
An aerosol is a type of colloid in which solid or liquid particles are suspended in a gas, typically air.
Pollution of air due to colloid and aerosol
- Colloids and aerosols are released into the air through natural or human-made sources
- They contribute to air pollution and can have harmful effects on human health
- The small size of the particles allows them to enter the lungs and bloodstream, causing respiratory problems and worsening existing health conditions.
