👉 Purchase fumes refer to the lingering, often unpleasant odors that can emanate from recently purchased items, particularly those involving chemicals or synthetic materials. These fumes are caused by volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released during the manufacturing, storage, or transportation of products like paints, solvents, adhesives, and new furniture. They can linger in the air for days or even weeks, affecting indoor air quality and potentially causing health issues such as headaches, dizziness, and respiratory problems, especially in enclosed spaces with poor ventilation.
