exhalations
Air pushed out
Exhalations are breaths released from the lungs, or more broadly, any vapors, gases, or fumes given off by something.
A swamp's exhalations rise in the morning mist.
The word often suggests something unpleasant or unhealthy: the exhalations of the factory smokestacks, fetid exhalations from the sewer.
In older or poetic usage, exhalations could mean any emanation rising from the earth.
