👉 Fumes are fine particles of liquid or solid substances that have evaporated from a vapor, typically released into the air when a substance is heated, burned, or processed. These particles can be harmful when inhaled, as they can irritate the respiratory system and, in some cases, cause more serious health issues. Fumes can originate from various sources, including industrial processes, vehicle exhaust, cigarette smoke, and even certain household products. The term "fumes" generally refers to a cloud or mist of these particles, which can spread easily in enclosed spaces and pose significant health risks if exposure is prolonged or excessive.
