disagree  EleoE: No son gotitas de aire.
1 hr
disagree  Jose Marino: En este caso, se trata de gotículas suspendidas en el aire: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gotas_de_Flügge
2 hrs
disagree  Neil Ashby: "particulas de aire" would be frozen air, which by it's very nature is a gas, that would require some amazing pressure and temps. ;@)
7 hrs
  -> lógico, el aire no es líquido. Son gotitas diminutas transportadas por el aire.
disagree  Louis Ladebauche: Son micropartículas expelidas al estornudar o toser.
