👉 Installation fumes refer to the noxious gases and vapors that can be released during the setup and operation of various DIY projects, particularly those involving combustion, chemical reactions, or high-temperature processes. These fumes often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as benzene, toluene, and formaldehyde, which can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, causing headaches, dizziness, and respiratory issues. In poorly ventilated areas, these toxins can accumulate, posing significant health risks over time. To mitigate these effects, it's crucial to work in well-ventilated spaces, use exhaust fans, and ensure proper airflow when handling materials that produce harmful fumes.
