👉 Pharmaceutical fumes are airborne particles and vapors released during the manufacturing, handling, and disposal of drugs and medications. These emissions can contain a variety of chemical compounds, including solvents, active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and degradation products. Exposure to these fumes can occur in healthcare settings, pharmaceutical plants, and even in homes where medications are stored or used. While often invisible, pharmaceuticals fumes can pose health risks such as respiratory irritation, allergic reactions, and, in some cases, more severe effects like organ damage or neurological issues, particularly with prolonged or high-level exposure. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment are crucial to mitigate these risks.
