👉 Column fumes refer to the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful substances that can evaporate from industrial processes, storage tanks, or equipment, often found in columns used for storage, transfer, or reaction. These fumes can include solvents, gases, and particulates that pose significant health risks, such as respiratory irritation, neurological damage, and long-term chronic conditions like cancer. Proper ventilation and containment are crucial to mitigate exposure, as column fumes can accumulate and spread, affecting nearby workers and the environment.
