Mists are formed by the condensation of vapors upon suitable nuclei. This gives rise to a suspension of small liquid droplets. Particle sizes of naturally occurring mists range between 5µ and 100µ. Submicron particles can be produced under special conditions. The terminology here is used rather loosely. 2, record 1, English, - submicron%20particle

Les particules inférieures à 5 micromètres rendent le panache visible en absorbant la lumière solaire. Les brouillards ne réduisent pas sensiblement la luminosité mais diminuent les contrastes. Le coefficient d'extinction dépend des facteurs d'absorption et de diffusion, ce dernier étant principalement en jeu lorsqu'il s'agit de particules fines, microniques et submicroniques. 4, record 1, French, - particule%20submicronique

On range les particules entre 1 micromètre et 0.001 micromètre dans la catégorie «particules ou poussières fines». Au-delà, c'est-à-dire jusqu'à la dimension d'une simple molécule (0.0002 micromètre), la terminologie devient floue : particules ultrafines, microniques, inframicroscopiques, submicroniques, etc. 5, record 1, French, - particule%20submicronique

Le déterminant «submicronique» n'est pas attesté dans les dictionnaires généraux mais on l'emploie dans la documentation spécialisée. 5, record 1, French, - particule%20submicronique
