performing a controlled release of a material comprising a metal-containing precursor into an engine environment during engine operation, wherein the metal-containing precursor comprises a metal selected from aluminum, iron, one or more lanthanides, or combinations thereof, and wherein a plurality of foreign matter is present:
within the engine environment in a gaseous phase or as an aerosol,
on one or more engine surfaces, or
both; and
contacting the plurality of foreign matter and the metal-containing precursor and converting the plurality of foreign matter into a solid phase comprising the metal in response to the material released during the performing of the controlled release.
