👉 Employer fumes refer to the harmful substances and chemicals that can be released into the air by various workplace activities, particularly from office equipment, cleaning products, and industrial processes. These fumes often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, and other toxins that can accumulate in enclosed spaces, leading to poor indoor air quality. Prolonged exposure to these pollutants can cause a range of health issues, including respiratory problems, headaches, dizziness, and even long-term conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Employers have a responsibility to mitigate these risks by implementing proper ventilation systems, using low-emission products, and monitoring air quality, thereby creating a safer and healthier work environment for their employees.
