Gases are elements or compounds with temperatures that are above their normal boiling points (the boiling point at atmospheric pressure). Examples of gases include: nitrogen, oxygen, methane and various non-methane hydrocarbons, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, ammonia, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide. A vapor is the gaseous phase of an element or compound that normally exists in a liquid or solid state at ambient temperature and atmospheric pressure. The space that is located above a liquid or solid will contain some vapor that is generated from the element or compound. This vapor has a pressure that is associated with it (ie., the vapor pressure). The vapor pressure is a function of the temperature. The concentration of the vapor in the space will depend on the temperature and the total pressure in the space. The concentration increases as temperature increases and decreases as total pressure increases. Examples of vapors include those from mercury, mercaptans, phenolic compounds, and gasoline, which is a mixture of chemical compounds. Aerosols are finely divided liquid particles of microscopic size that are suspended in the air or ina gas. Examples of aerosols include: fumes, mists, and fog. Fog consists of tiny droplets of water that are suspended in the air.
