👉 Za fumes, also known as "zootoxins" or "zoil," are toxic compounds produced by certain bacteria and fungi that thrive in moist, organic-rich environments like soil, waterlogged areas, and decaying plant matter. These toxins can be released into the air when these organisms break down organic material, posing health risks to humans and animals through inhalation. Symptoms of exposure can range from mild irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat to more severe respiratory issues, nausea, and in extreme cases, organ damage or death. Common sources include contaminated water, poor sanitation, and agricultural runoff, making it important for public health to monitor and manage these environments to prevent exposure.
