👉 Lock fumes refer to the noxious gases that can accumulate in enclosed spaces, particularly those with inadequate ventilation, such as car garages, workshops, or storage areas. These fumes are primarily produced by the combustion of fuels like gasoline, diesel, and oil, which release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other toxic substances when burned. Prolonged exposure to lock fumes can cause a range of health issues, including headaches, dizziness, nausea, and respiratory problems. In severe cases, it can lead to more serious conditions like chronic bronchitis, liver damage, or even cancer. Proper ventilation and regular air quality checks are essential to mitigate the risks associated with lock fumes.
