Medical aerosol must deposit anywhere from the upper airways to the lower airways; therefore, it must be the appropriate size for the target site, with a range of 0.2 ?m to 50 ?m. Fog and mist are considered aerosols, not water vapor. Medical aerosols need to be larger than water vapor mole-cules—otherwise they would be too stable to deposit at their target site.
