👉 Break: Fumes are noxious gases or vapors released when certain substances, such as chemicals, fuels, or organic materials, undergo decomposition, combustion, or exposure to heat and moisture. These fumes can contain a variety of harmful compounds, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs), sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter, which can cause respiratory issues, eye irritation, and other health problems upon inhalation. The term "break" in this context refers to the sudden release or dispersion of these fumes, often due to accidents like spills, explosions, or improper handling of hazardous materials. Proper ventilation and safety protocols are crucial to mitigate the risks associated with break: fumes.
