👉 Natural fumes refer to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that naturally occur in various materials and environments, such as wood, plants, soil, and even some household items like paints, adhesives, and cleaning products. These fumes are released into the air as a result of the chemical composition of these substances, often due to their decomposition or reaction with other elements. Common examples include terpenes from pine trees, formaldehyde from wood products, and benzene from certain plastics. While natural fumes can be present in small, harmless amounts in healthy environments, prolonged exposure to high concentrations can lead to health issues such as headaches, dizziness, and respiratory problems. Understanding and managing these fumes is crucial for maintaining indoor air quality and ensuring a safe living or working space.
