👉 Ink fumes are volatile organic compounds released when liquid ink is exposed to air, primarily due to the breakdown of solvents and pigments within the ink. These fumes can be irritating to the eyes, nose, and throat, causing symptoms like coughing, sneezing, and respiratory discomfort. Prolonged exposure may lead to more serious health issues, including damage to the lungs and irritation of the mucous membranes. In environments where people spend extended periods, such as offices or printing facilities, managing ink fumes through proper ventilation is crucial to maintaining air quality and protecting health.
