👉 Oriented fumes refer to a type of air pollution characterized by the presence of fine particulate matter (PM) that is aligned or oriented in a specific direction due to wind patterns and atmospheric conditions. These particles, often less than 10 micrometers in diameter, can be particularly harmful as they can penetrate deep into the lungs and even enter the bloodstream. The orientation of these fumes is influenced by factors such as the direction and speed of the wind, which can carry them over long distances, affecting areas far from their source. This phenomenon makes oriented fumes a significant concern in urban environments and industrial zones, where they can exacerbate respiratory issues and other health problems.
