gasoline vapors

Invisible flammable air

Gasoline vapors are the fumes that evaporate from liquid gasoline, consisting of volatile hydrocarbons that mix readily with air.

These vapors are highly flammable and can ignite from sparks or open flames, making them dangerous in enclosed spaces.

Inhaling gasoline vapors causes dizziness and nausea; deliberate inhalation for intoxication is hazardous and potentially fatal.
