Silica fume, also known as microsilica, is a byproduct of the combustion of quartz, coal and wood chips during the production of silicon metals. silica improves compressive strength, bond strength, and the abrasion resistance of concrete. Prior to the 1970s, its release into the atmosphere was permitted, but environmental concerns eventually forced its collection and deposition into landfills. It then became economical for silica fume to be used in various applications, chiefly in high-performance concrete. Consisting of fine silicon dioxide particles that are approximately one-hundredth the size of the average cement particle, silica fume is the cement substitute of choice where high strength is critical, such as in high-rise buildings. Cement that contains silica fume looks darker than ordinary cement. Although a respirator should be worn while handling pure silica fume, a cement-silica fume mix is not considered dangerous to humans.

yes
The human activities affect the enviroment, for example: A fume is release from the vehicle which can cause pollution and when we sniff it will get a lot of disease like asthma, breathing problem and this is dangerous for our health.
The word "fume" generally implies a gas. The only common exception I know of is in the two word phrase "silica fume", which is sometimes used for very fine solid silica particles that have been prepared by a process including a step of passing silica through a fume stage. Such solid material is preferably called "fumed silica".

Fume cupboards are essential in a science lab that uses harmful chemicals which could effect human health. The aim of the fume cupboard is to dispose of the harmful gases (given of by the reaction) into the atmosphere where the concentration will neutralise.
Silica Fume(Microsilica),They used in concrete. It can improve concrete's properties such as compressive strength, bond strength, and abrasion resistance; reduces permeability; and therefore helps in protecting reinforcing steel from corrosion. At the same time, ,silica fume can still be used in the production of refractory and porcelain; to raise intensity and durability, it also can be used in paint, coating, resin, rubber and other high molecular as a filler material to improve the material overall performance.

A fume cupboard is needed for works with toxic, corrosive, radioactive, explosive, chemicals with a bad odor; also in biology for works with potentially dangerous materials.
Chemical fume hoods are the first protection against exposure to dangerous chemicals that all laboratory users should have. They are the first line of defense against inhaling chemicals.
YES! That is why "good" shops use breather masks.
No,, distilled water is not used in a gel battery. The sulfuric acid is mixed with silica fume rather than distilled water. This is what makes the gel.
