👉 Fumes from chemical substances, often referred to as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are airborne particles that can be harmful when inhaled. These fumes can originate from various sources, including industrial processes, solvents, paints, and cleaning agents. Exposure to VOC fumes can lead to a range of health issues, such as respiratory irritation, headaches, dizziness, and in more severe cases, long-term damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. Proper ventilation, protective equipment, and adherence to safety guidelines are crucial to minimize exposure and mitigate these risks.
