👉 Mouse fumes, also known as volatilization fumes, are a common occupational hazard in environments where mice are frequently present or handled, such as in laboratories, warehouses, and storage facilities. These fumes are produced when mouse droppings, urine, saliva, and nesting materials decompose, releasing chemicals like phenols, ammonia, and other volatile organic compounds into the air. Prolonged exposure to these fumes can lead to respiratory issues, eye irritation, and skin sensitization, making it essential to use appropriate ventilation, protective equipment, and regular cleaning to mitigate their effects.
