👉 Popular fumes, often associated with indoor environments like offices, homes, and workshops, are a mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from various sources such as paints, solvents, cleaning agents, adhesives, and building materials. Common culprits include formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, and xylene, which can cause a range of health issues from headaches and dizziness to more severe effects like respiratory problems and long-term damage to the liver, kidneys, and central nervous system. These fumes are particularly problematic in poorly ventilated spaces, where they can accumulate and persist, leading to chronic exposure. Regular ventilation, using low-VOC products, and maintaining cleanliness can help mitigate their impact.
