It’s aerosol. Which I thought was different than droplets?

The terminology is unclear, which doesn't help.
Let's just call everything a droplet and say that droplets over 100 microns tend to fall out of the air quickly and droplets under 100 microns can remain in the air for a longer time (depends on humidity and other factors, but that's the general rule.)
"Aersol", "airborne" and other terms differ in meaning depending on which specialilzed domain you are talking in.

Can’t argue with that. Thanks for the clarification.
