👉 Preliminary fumes refer to the initial, often subtle, but potentially harmful vapors or particles that can be released from various sources such as chemicals, solvents, or materials during processes like manufacturing, cleaning, or even everyday activities. These fumes can contain a mix of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, and other airborne contaminants that may pose health risks, including respiratory irritation, eye damage, or long-term health issues if inhaled over prolonged periods. The term "preliminary" highlights that these emissions are typically the first signs of a potential hazard, prompting immediate attention to ensure safety protocols are followed to mitigate exposure.
