👉 Trades fumes refer to the noxious, often invisible pollutants released by various industrial processes and machinery used in trade and manufacturing environments. These emissions can include volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particulate matter, carbon monoxide, and other harmful substances that pose significant health risks to workers, such as respiratory issues, headaches, and long-term damage to lung function. Additionally, trades fumes can degrade air quality, contributing to environmental pollution and affecting the overall well-being of both employees and nearby communities. Proper ventilation, personal protective equipment, and adherence to safety regulations are crucial to mitigate these risks.
