Not considered harmful by WHOM? Last time I got on the subway I remember them pumping atomized industrial lubricant into the tunnels. Oh, wait, its electric and there are no such fumes. Also, a smell is different from fumes.
I wish they would just fix the issue instead of further opening themselves to future liability.

I'm only half-kidding.
