👉 Extended fumes refer to the lingering, often invisible, residues of chemicals or pollutants that remain in the air long after the initial source of emission has been removed or has ceased. These fumes can persist for hours, days, or even weeks, depending on environmental conditions and the nature of the substances involved. They can originate from various sources, including industrial processes, vehicle exhaust, solvent use, and combustion activities. The presence of extended fumes poses significant health risks, as they can irritate the respiratory system, cause long-term damage, and contribute to environmental issues such as air pollution and climate change. Effective management and regulation are crucial to mitigate these impacts.
