👉 Infectious fumes refer to airborne particles or gases that can transmit pathogens, such as viruses and bacteria, from one person to another, often without direct contact. These fumes are typically produced when an infected individual exhales, coughs, sneezes, or talks, releasing droplets and aerosols into the air. These particles can remain suspended for varying durations depending on environmental conditions like humidity and temperature. When inhaled by others in close proximity, they can lead to infection, especially in enclosed spaces where ventilation is limited. Understanding and mitigating these fumes through good hygiene practices, proper ventilation, and personal protective measures is crucial in preventing the spread of contagious diseases.
