👉 Work fumes, also known as occupational exposure to airborne contaminants, are harmful substances released into the air during various workplace activities. These can include dust, chemicals, fumes, and vapors from processes like welding, painting, cleaning, and manufacturing. Prolonged exposure to these fumes can lead to respiratory issues, headaches, dizziness, and even long-term health problems such as lung disease or cancer. Proper ventilation, personal protective equipment (PPE), and regular monitoring are essential to minimize exposure and protect worker health.
