👉 Collapse fumes refer to a hazardous mixture of gases and particles released when a building or structure collapses, such as during an earthquake, structural failure, or other catastrophic events. These fumes can include toxic substances like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrogen chloride, and various particulates, which pose severe health risks to anyone inhaling them. The rapid release of these dangerous gases can lead to immediate respiratory distress, neurological damage, and even death, making it a critical environmental and safety concern that requires prompt evacuation and medical attention.
