👉 Reg fumes, also known as "reg gas" or "reg fumes," are toxic vapors that can be released from gasoline when it evaporates or is burned. These fumes contain a mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including benzene, toluene, and xylene, which are known to be harmful to human health. Prolonged exposure to reg fumes can lead to respiratory issues, headaches, dizziness, nausea, and in severe cases, more serious health problems like liver and kidney damage or even cancer. The odor is often described as sweet, chemical, or petroleum-like, making it difficult to detect without proper equipment. Therefore, understanding and minimizing exposure to reg fumes is crucial for maintaining a safe environment, especially in areas where gasoline is used frequently, such as gas stations or during fueling activities.
