How it's used
Refers specifically to the physical state of a liquid being atomized into a fine mist. It is commonly used for functional products like cleaning agents, hair styling products, or medical sprays. Unlike the more general term 噴, which focuses on the action of spraying, 噴霧 emphasizes the resulting mist or the product itself.

Common mistake
Avoid using 噴霧 as a verb; it is strictly a noun. Use 噴 when you want to describe the action of spraying something.
