👉 Persons' fumes, often referred to as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are a mixture of chemicals released from human breath and skin. These fumes can include substances like formaldehyde, benzene, and various alcohols, which are naturally produced by the body through metabolic processes. When these compounds are inhaled, they can irritate the eyes, nose, and throat, leading to symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, and headaches. Prolonged exposure to higher concentrations of these fumes can cause more serious health issues, including respiratory problems, damage to the liver and kidneys, and even increase the risk of cancer. The term "persons' fumes" specifically highlights the direct impact on individuals, emphasizing the importance of proper ventilation and protective measures in environments where people spend extended periods.
