The basic idea behind this technology is to achieve an evaporative cooling effect by producing fine water droplets with an average droplet size of around 20 micron. Fogging systems can be designed to produce droplets of variable sizes, depending on the desired evaporation time and surrounding climate. The fogging droplets...
This article mentions that dispersing agents, also called dispersants, are chemicals that contain surfactants and or solvent compounds that act to break petroleum oil into small droplets. In an oil spill, these droplets disperse into the water column where they are subjected to natural processes, such as waves and currents...

As part of a fatal human plague case investigation, we showed that the plague bacterium, Yersinia pestis, can survive for at least 24 days in contaminated soil under natural conditions. These results have implications for defining plague foci, persistence, transmission, and bioremediation after a natural or intentional exposure to Y....
