Fume 03
Fume 03 : Airborne solid particles formed when the material from a volatilized solid condenses in cool air. Fumes are extremely fine - usually less than 1.0 micrometre in diameter. In most cases the hot vapour reacts with the air to form an oxide. Fumes are often associated with molten metals, especially in processes such as welding. At high fume concentrations, agglomeration of particles may result in particles of much larger dimensions. See also: Dust, Gas, Mist, Smoke and Vapour
