👉 Caribbean fumes refer to the persistent and often unpleasant air pollution that plagues many coastal cities and regions in the Caribbean, primarily due to a combination of factors including heavy traffic from tourism and local transportation, industrial emissions, and natural sources like volcanic activity and wildfires. These pollutants, which include particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds, can lead to significant health issues such as respiratory problems, cardiovascular diseases, and exacerbated asthma among residents and visitors alike. The region's tropical climate and frequent hurricanes can also contribute to the dispersion and accumulation of these fumes, making air quality a persistent concern that affects daily life and environmental health.
