Solution

An aerosol is defined as a colloidal system of solid or liquid particles in a gas. An aerosol includes both the particles and the suspending gas, which is usually air. Aerosols need to be banned because CFC's (Chlorofluorocarbons) are used in them as propelling agents that keep the pressure in the can constant. CFCs are air pollutants that can have several adverse effects. So, a ban on aerosols is in demand.
