👉 Fumes from chemical reactions or industrial processes are complex mixtures of volatile compounds that can interact in various ways, including chemical reactions, physical changes, and health impacts. When released into the air, these fumes can react with other atmospheric components like water vapor, oxygen, or particulates, forming new substances such as acids, salts, or aerosols. Some fumes may condense on surfaces or be absorbed by plants and water bodies, affecting ecosystems. Inhalation of these fumes can lead to respiratory issues, irritation, or even poisoning, depending on the chemicals involved. The behavior of fumes—whether they disperse quickly or accumulate—depends on factors like temperature, humidity, and air currents, making their impact on health and the environment highly variable.
