👉 Handle fumes refer to the noxious vapors or gases that can be released from the handles of various household items, such as kitchen appliances, electrical switches, and some types of cleaning products. These fumes are often a result of chemical reactions within the materials used to create the handle, such as certain plastics, metals, or adhesives, especially when exposed to heat, moisture, or friction. They can cause respiratory irritation, headaches, dizziness, and in severe cases, more serious health issues like organ damage or even death. Proper ventilation and using products designed for safe handling are crucial to minimize exposure to these harmful fumes.
