👉 Clinic fumes refer to the airborne contaminants and chemicals released into the air within medical facilities, primarily from disinfectants, cleaning agents, and other substances used during patient care and sterilization processes. These fumes can include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as formaldehyde, benzene, and quaternary ammonium compounds, which are often used to sanitize surfaces and equipment. Prolonged exposure to these fumes can lead to respiratory issues, headaches, dizziness, and other health problems for healthcare workers and patients alike. To mitigate these risks, clinics implement ventilation systems, use low-VOC products, and adhere to strict safety protocols to ensure a safer environment.
