👉 Replacement fumes refer to the harmful vapors or gases that are released when old, deteriorating materials are burned or processed, replacing the original, less toxic substances they once contained. These fumes can originate from various sources, such as asbestos, lead-based paints, or other hazardous substances, and they pose significant health risks upon inhalation, including respiratory issues, lung damage, and long-term conditions like cancer. Proper ventilation and the use of protective equipment are crucial when handling materials that generate replacement fumes to minimize exposure and mitigate health hazards.
