👉 According to fumes refers to a cloud of noxious gases or vapors that can be released from various sources, such as industrial processes, chemical reactions, or even natural sources like volcanic eruptions. These fumes can contain a range of harmful substances including sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). When inhaled, these fumes can cause respiratory issues, headaches, dizziness, and in severe cases, more serious health problems like lung damage or even death. The term "odor" is often used colloquially to describe the unpleasant, often pungent smell associated with these fumes, which can vary widely depending on their chemical composition. Proper ventilation and protective measures are essential when dealing with environments where such fumes may be present.
