👉 Variable fumes refer to a type of airborne contamination characterized by the presence of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other hazardous substances that can evaporate or vaporize at room temperature. These fumes can originate from various sources, including industrial processes, chemical manufacturing, solvent use, and even everyday products like paints and cleaning agents. The concentration and composition of variable fumes can fluctuate over time and space, posing health risks such as respiratory irritation, headaches, and long-term damage to organs if exposure is prolonged. Proper ventilation, personal protective equipment, and monitoring are essential to mitigate the dangers associated with variable fumes.
