👉 Realty fumes refer to the unpleasant odors and chemical byproducts that can permeate the air in properties, particularly those undergoing renovation, construction, or remodeling. These fumes often come from materials like paints, adhesives, sealants, and new flooring, which release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other chemicals. Common sources include fresh paint, which emits strong, pungent smells, and new carpets or hardwood floors that can off-gas for weeks or even months. Poor ventilation exacerbates these issues, leading to a stuffy, unhealthy indoor environment. Addressing realty fumes typically involves improving air circulation, using air purifiers, and allowing the space to ventilate for extended periods.
