Toxic aerosols can come from various sources: - Industrial emissions, including those from factories, power plants, and mining operations. - Vehicle exhaust, particularly from diesel engines, which emit fine particulate matter and toxic compounds. - Household products, such as cleaning agents, paints, and sprays, which can release volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other harmful substances. - Environmental tobacco smoke (secondhand smoke) and vaping products. - Natural sources like wildfires and volcanic eruptions, which can release large quantities of toxic particles into the atmosphere.
