" fume
A gas or vapour/vapor that smells strongly or is dangerous to inhale. Fumes are solid particles formed by condensation from the gaseous state, e.g. metal oxides from volatilized metals. They can flocculate and coalesce. Their particle size is between 0.1 and 1 micron. (A micron is one millionth of a metre)
Don't stand around in there breathing the fumes while the adhesive cures.
Smoke
(uncountable) The visible vapor/vapour, gases, and fine particles given off by burning or smoldering material. "

Note from asker:
| Hello! I forgot to specify that my lack of confidence here is mainly in translating the word "mild". How confident are you about "mild" = "modéré" in this context? |

faibles émissions de fumée industrielle
I believe you should translate it as a phrase rather than a technical term

Tony M
: This translates 'light emissions' — of what might be very strong fumes!
