👉 Fold fumes refer to the accumulation of harmful substances, such as chemicals or particulates, that are trapped within layers of materials during the folding process of textiles, paper, or other materials. When these materials are repeatedly folded, compressed, or layered, the contaminants can become concentrated in the spaces between the layers, leading to a buildup that can pose health risks if inhaled or come into contact with skin. This phenomenon is particularly concerning in environments like textile manufacturing, where workers might be exposed to these fumes, or in the use of certain types of packaging materials that can release harmful substances when folded and stored.
