👉 Fumes are invisible, odorless gases that can be released into the air from various sources, such as industrial processes, vehicle exhaust, chemical manufacturing, and even natural phenomena like volcanic eruptions. These gases can accumulate in enclosed spaces, posing significant health risks when inhaled, including respiratory issues, irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and in severe cases, long-term damage to lung function. Proper ventilation and safety measures are crucial to mitigate the harmful effects of fumes, ensuring a safer environment for both workers and the general public.
