👉 Back:Fumes are a type of toxic, often odorless gas produced by certain types of plastics and synthetic materials, particularly those used in automotive and industrial applications. These fumes can be released when the plastic is heated, scratched, or damaged, causing the material to break down and release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the air. Common sources include brake pads, tires, and various automotive parts. Exposure to back fumes can lead to respiratory issues, eye irritation, and in severe cases, more serious health problems like lung damage or chemical burns. Proper handling and disposal of these materials, along with using protective equipment like masks and gloves, are crucial to minimize exposure and ensure safety.
