👉 Maximum fumes refer to the highest concentration of harmful substances that can be safely inhaled for a short period, typically measured in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m³). These fumes are often produced by industrial processes, chemical reactions, or the burning of fuels. Exposure to high levels of these fumes can lead to acute health effects such as irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, respiratory issues like coughing and shortness of breath, and in severe cases, long-term damage to the lungs or other organs. It's crucial to monitor and control maximum fume levels in workplaces and environments where such emissions occur to protect worker health and comply with safety regulations.
