👉 Receiver fumes refer to the noxious gases and vapors that can be released when certain materials, particularly plastics and other synthetic polymers, are exposed to heat, light, or chemical reactions. These fumes often contain volatile organic compounds (VOCs), such as benzene, formaldehyde, and phthalates, which can be harmful to human health, causing respiratory issues, headaches, and long-term damage if inhaled in significant quantities. The term "receiver" is used here metaphorically to describe the accumulation of these toxic substances within or on a surface, often in enclosed spaces like vehicles or storage areas, posing a risk to those who breathe them in. Proper ventilation and handling practices are crucial to mitigate the risks associated with receiver fumes.
