To expose or incorporate air into a medium. Aeration is typically used on stored materials such as a pool of water or a bin of grain and can be accomplished by forcing compressed air into the medium, by mixing the medium with a paddle or by spraying the medium into the air. Aeration is used to remove odors and tastes in water, to minimize moisture condensation and to reduce opportunities for biological growth.
