👉 Wooden fumes, also known as volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from wood, are a common byproduct of burning or processing wood. These fumes contain a variety of chemicals that can evaporate into the air, often releasing a distinctive, sometimes pungent odor. They can include formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, and other aromatic hydrocarbons, which are known to have potential health impacts, such as respiratory irritation, headaches, and long-term exposure risks. In indoor settings, wooden fumes can accumulate, especially in poorly ventilated spaces, leading to a noticeable build-up that affects air quality and comfort.
