👉 Transmission fumes are a mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful substances released from the internal combustion engine and its components when it is running or recently serviced. These fumes can include gases like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and metal particles, as well as potentially toxic chemicals such as lead and zinc. Exposure to these fumes can occur through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion, leading to a range of health issues including respiratory problems, headaches, dizziness, and in severe cases, more serious conditions like organ damage or cancer. Proper ventilation and protective measures are crucial when working with or around vehicles that have been recently serviced to minimize exposure to these harmful emissions.
