Perhaps an awkwardly phrased question, but I will clarify. For example, when I smell sh!t, how much sh!t is actually entering my nose? Similarly, if I were in a room that smelled of sh!t, and the source of the smell was real sh!t, would I get sick from the smell alone if I were smelling it for an extended period of time? Why or why not?

I know that some fumes are toxic, but what differs “fumes” from “smells”? Why are there “toxic fumes” but not “toxic smells”? Just word choice?

(Chemistry flair because idk)
