👉 Turning fumes refer to the noxious, often toxic gases and vapors that can accumulate in enclosed spaces when machinery or processes involving combustion, chemical reactions, or high temperatures are operating. These fumes can arise from engines, furnaces, industrial processes, or even certain materials during cutting or welding. The primary concern with turning fumes is their potential to cause severe respiratory issues, eye irritation, and long-term health problems such as lung cancer or chronic bronchitis if exposure is prolonged. Proper ventilation, personal protective equipment, and regular monitoring are essential to mitigate the risks associated with these harmful emissions.
