👉 Horizontal fumes refer to a type of airborne pollutant that spreads out horizontally, often along surfaces and in the air near ground level, rather than vertically. These fumes can originate from various sources such as industrial emissions, vehicle exhaust, chemical spills, or even natural processes like wildfires. They tend to accumulate in urban areas and can affect large areas, impacting air quality and posing health risks to people through inhalation. The horizontal dispersion of these pollutants is influenced by factors like wind direction, temperature inversions, and surface characteristics, making them a significant concern for public health and environmental management.
