Chemical fumes are gases or vapors that are released during chemical reactions or from certain substances. These fumes can come from various sources, including industrial processes, household cleaners, and even natural events like wildfires. They often contain harmful compounds that can affect human health and the environment. Exposure to chemical fumes can lead to respiratory issues, headaches, and other health problems. It is important to use proper ventilation and protective equipment when working with chemicals to minimize inhalation of these potentially dangerous substances. Safety measures help reduce the risks associated with chemical exposure in both workplaces and homes.
