👉 Cliff fumes refer to a sudden, intense release of toxic gases that can occur when a large amount of fuel, such as gasoline, diesel, or propane, is ignited rapidly. This rapid combustion generates a cloud of noxious vapors and particulates, often containing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide, and other hazardous substances. These fumes can spread quickly through the air, posing severe health risks to anyone exposed, including respiratory issues, headaches, dizziness, and in extreme cases, more serious conditions like organ damage or death. They are particularly dangerous in confined spaces or areas with poor ventilation, making it crucial to avoid such environments and take immediate action if exposure is suspected.
