Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-011855

1. Tiny particles trapped in vapor in a gas stream.

2. An airborne dispersion consisting of small solid particles created by condensation from a gaseous state, in distinction to a gas or vapor. Fumes arise from the heating of solids such as lead. The condensation is often accompanied by a chemical reaction, such as oxidation. Fumes flocculate and sometimes coalesce.
