👉 Honest fumes refer to the unpleasant, often toxic byproducts released by industrial processes, such as chemical reactions, combustion, or waste treatment. These emissions can include gases like sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and particulate matter, which are harmful to both human health and the environment. The term "honest" underscores the idea that these fumes are a direct result of industrial activities and cannot be ignored or misrepresented, highlighting the need for stringent regulations and cleaner technologies to mitigate their impact.
