👉 Carl fumes, also known as carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, are a serious and potentially fatal health hazard caused by the inhalation of carbon monoxide gas. This colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas is produced when fossil fuels like gasoline, diesel, or wood burn incompletely. When exposed to low levels of car exhaust or other carbon monoxide sources, people can unknowingly inhale these toxic fumes, leading to symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, nausea, and confusion. Prolonged exposure can result in more severe effects, including damage to the heart, brain, and nervous system, and in extreme cases, death. Preventing car fumes involves ensuring proper ventilation, using catalytic converters in vehicles, and avoiding driving in areas with high pollution levels or when exhaust is backfiring.
