An organism or substance that thrives in or is attracted to the atmosphere and air.
From Greek 'atmos' (air/vapor) + '-phile' (from Greek 'philia' meaning love of). A scientific term created to describe organisms that prefer gaseous environments.
Some bacteria and fungi are atmophiles — they literally prefer living in the air rather than on surfaces, which blew scientists' minds when they discovered it!
