👉 In environments where solvents, fuels, or chemicals are used, such as workshops, laboratories, or industrial settings, workers may be exposed to various volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous fumes. Common probable fumes include benzene, toluene, xylene, formaldehyde, and acetone, which can originate from paints, adhesives, cleaning agents, and solvents. These fumes can cause respiratory irritation, headaches, dizziness, and in higher concentrations, more severe health issues like organ damage or cancer. Proper ventilation and personal protective equipment are essential to mitigate these risks.
