👉 Fumes, often invisible but highly hazardous, are airborne particles and gases released from various industrial processes, vehicle exhausts, and household products. Exposure to these fumes can lead to a range of health issues, including respiratory problems such as asthma, bronchitis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Long-term exposure can also cause more severe conditions like lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases due to the inhalation of toxic substances like particulate matter, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and heavy metals. These fumes can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, and in some cases, trigger neurological effects or exacerbate pre-existing health conditions, making it crucial to monitor and control air quality in environments where such exposures are common.
