👉 Pressure fumes refer to the build-up of gases that can accumulate within confined spaces, such as tanks, pipelines, or industrial containers, due to leaks, overpressure, or rapid depressurization. These gases, which can include hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide, methane, and others, exert increased pressure on the surrounding environment, posing significant risks to safety and structural integrity. If not properly managed, pressure fumes can lead to explosions, as seen in industrial accidents, or cause asphyxiation, suffocation, or other severe health issues for those exposed. Effective monitoring and control systems are essential to detect and mitigate these pressures before they become hazardous.
