What is "exhaust"?

Exhaust refers to the gases or air that are released from an engine, furnace, or other machinery after they have been used in the process of producing energy or heat. This waste air or gas is typically the result of burning fuel, and it is expelled through a system such as a tailpipe or vent. Exhaust can contain harmful substances like carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and other pollutants, which is why many systems are designed to filter or direct them safely away from people and the environment.
