Glossary A
Aerodynamics in the environmental context refers to the study of how air moves around objects, including natural formations and human-made structures, and its implications for various environmental processes and technologies. This field is crucial for understanding wind patterns, weather phenomena, and the Dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere. Additionally, aerodynamics plays a significant role in designing energy-efficient buildings, vehicles, and wind turbines, contributing to the development of sustainable solutions that minimize environmental impact.
An Aerosol has several definitions and can mean one of the following definitions:

Aerospace in the environmental context refers to the impact that the aviation and space industries have on the Environment, as well as the Development of technologies and strategies aimed at mitigating those impacts. It encompasses both the effects of atmospheric flights (aviation) and activities beyond Earth's Atmosphere (space exploration), focusing on issues such as emissions, resource use, waste Management, and the environmental consequences of rocket launches and satellite operations.

Aflatoxins in the environmental context refer to naturally occurring toxic compounds produced by certain Species of Aspergillus Fungi, which typically grow on crops such as maize (Corn), peanuts, cottonseed, and tree nuts under warm and humid conditions. These toxins can contaminate food and animal feed, posing serious Health risks to humans, livestock, and Wildlife. Aflatoxins are significant not only because of their toxicological effects but also because they reflect Environmental Conditions like Climate Change, agricultural practices, and food storage systems.
