👉 Fume solutions, often encountered in laboratory settings or industrial processes involving volatile organic compounds (VOCs), are solutions where the solute is dissolved in a solvent that vaporizes during the reaction or process. These fumes consist of both dissolved substances and their gaseous byproducts, which can include harmful vapors like alcohols, ketones, acids, and other chemicals. Proper ventilation and protective equipment are crucial when dealing with fume solutions to prevent inhalation of these potentially toxic vapors. The composition of the fume solution depends on the specific chemicals involved, making it essential to understand and manage the risks associated with each particular mixture.
