ELI5 mode

Aerosolize means to convert a substance, such as a liquid or solid, into an aerosol—a fine suspension of particles in the air. This process is widely applied in fields like medicine for drug delivery and environmental science for studying atmospheric pollutants, but it also raises concerns in public health contexts, such as the spread of airborne viruses.
