👉 Exit fumes refer to the noxious gases and vapors that can be released when a person leaves a confined or poorly ventilated space, such as a room with a chemical leak, a gas leak, or an area contaminated by hazardous substances. These fumes can include toxic chemicals like carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are often odorless and invisible. As the individual exits, these harmful substances disperse into the surrounding air, posing significant health risks including respiratory irritation, nausea, dizziness, and in severe cases, long-term damage to organs or death. Proper ventilation is crucial to mitigate these risks by rapidly expelling the fumes and reducing exposure.
