👉 Fumes are fine particles or vapors that can be released into the air from various sources, particularly during processes involving combustion, chemical reactions, or the breakdown of materials. These particles can originate from sources like car exhaust, industrial emissions, cooking, and even natural sources such as volcanic eruptions. Fumes contain a mixture of gases and particulates, including carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and heavy metals. Inhalation of fumes can lead to respiratory issues, eye irritation, and other health problems, making it crucial to monitor and control their levels in enclosed spaces and the broader environment.
