| zerstaeubt sprayed (s.u.) Explanation: Was man unter zerstäuben versteht, steht im Link. Wichttig dabei ist: Der Begriff Zerstäuben ist insofern irreführend, dass unter Staub üblicherweise feinste Feststoff-Partikel verstanden werden, während Zerstäuben zumeist auf Flüssigkeiten, seltener auf Feststoffe, angewandt wird.

peer agreement (net): +1| zerstaeubt spray / mist / aerosol Explanation: This usually involves liquids that are present in an atomized, sprayed, or aerosol form. Occasionally, it also involves solids that are present in the form of fine dust or powder. Either way, it represents a fire or explosion hazard. One 'exotic' example is flour dust, that has caused many an explosion. Also see http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6T... |
