👉 Fiber fumes are tiny, airborne particles generated when synthetic fibers, such as those found in textiles like carpets, clothing, and upholstery, are disturbed or abraded. These fibers can become airborne and pose respiratory risks when inhaled, as they can penetrate deep into the lungs, potentially causing irritation, inflammation, and long-term health issues like chronic bronchitis or lung cancer. The term "fibers" refers to the microscopic strands that make up these materials, distinguishing them from other types of dust or particulates. Proper ventilation, regular cleaning, and using protective gear can help mitigate the risks associated with fiber fumes.
