👉 Error fumes refer to the unpleasant, often acrid smell that emanates from electronic devices when they are overheating or malfunctioning. This is typically caused by a buildup of hot air or vapor inside the device's components, such as the CPU or motherboard. When temperatures rise too high, the materials within the device can release toxic fumes, which can be harmful if inhaled in large quantities. These fumes often contain chemicals like brominated compounds, which are commonly used to prevent overheating but can be hazardous. Proper ventilation and regular maintenance are crucial to prevent error fumes and ensure the safe operation of electronic devices.
