👉 Charger fumes refer to the odorless, invisible gases and vapors released by electrical chargers, especially those using lithium-ion batteries or other advanced battery technologies. These emissions primarily consist of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like benzene, formaldehyde, and acetaldehyde, which can be harmful when inhaled in high concentrations. While the fumes themselves are not directly toxic, they can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, and long-term exposure may pose health risks such as respiratory issues or allergic reactions. Modern chargers often incorporate ventilation systems and filters to reduce these emissions, but in some cases, especially with older or poorly ventilated devices, the fumes can still be noticeable and potentially problematic.
