Toxic fumes are gases that are poisonous or dangerous to people. There are different levels of toxicity, meaning some fumes ( gases ) are more dangerous than others. For instance, carbon monoxide can be present in your house. It is a toxic fume that comes from car exhaust or furnaces. In very, very low concentrations, you may only show mild symptoms like a headache or even none if you come and go a lot. But in higher concentrations it will be lethal (deadly ) and kill you.
Toxic fumes generally come from factories or result from chemical processes like combustion ( in an engine ), or processing/manufacturing ( mills, oil refineries,chemical plants). It is now widely accepted that cigarette smoke is toxic, as it causes cancer, and has been linked to lung and Heart diseases. Generally, most toxic fumes are man-made.
Nitrous Oxides (NO, NO2 and N2O), Sulphur Dioxide, Carbon Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide are the famous ones, depending on the reactions that are taking place in the factory. There are also particulates (PM10) which are small cinders which end up floating around the atmosphere.
However many factories have special grilles inside their chimneys to remove the sulphur dioxide, or they crush the coal mixed with an acid to remove any sulphur, thus reducing the amount of SO2 in the atmosphere.
Fumes are airborne metals, which are formed when a metal is heated above its boiling point and its vapours condense into very fine, particles (solid particulates).
Smoke very often contains fumes, and welding ALWAYS gives off fumes. Spray painting does not emit fumes, neither do bottles of corrosive or strong chemicals, such as bleach, battery electrolyte, or ammonia.
Therefore, it can be seen that this word is often misused, when referring to vapors. Gases are vapors, not fumes. Liquids are droplets, mist, or vapors, not fumes.
Vapor released by any chemical, fuel, food, process, burning, etc.
Fumes are colloidail systems (solid-air or liquid-air).
Any fumes may be dangerous but this depends on the chemical nature of the fumes, dimension of particles, time of exposition, concentration in the atmosphere.
Seems unlikely, at least in any significant quantity
Yes. Most oils should not be inhaled and the smoke or fumes from hot hydraulic fluid are not exceptions.
you get cancer
the fumes is the fumes that expose in the fumes that reqiured to make some fumes for fumes
Many fumes are harmful in fact most fumes are harmful. There are many type of fumes and most of them are harmful but they can be filtered and cleansed to stop them harming th eenvironment
You certainly can get a rash from diesel fumes. This is because these fumes are an irritant to your skin.
Exhause Fumes.
exhaust fumes of a car
Certain fumes can affect all people. Ammonia fumes, for example, will affect everyone.
Spiders do not produce poisonous fumes.
Oil fumes in the crankcase are common. Excessive oil fumes can be an indication of a broken or worn piston ring.
brown color fumes
i smell gas fumes in 96 Nissan quest
Diffusion occurs naturally, and technically they are not fumes. Fumes are the condensates of metals. Ammonia vapors are what you smell.
Sterno fumes can certainly cause eye irritation. The fumes can also cause irritation in the lungs after significant exposure.
