La cheminée est le conduit (conduit de fumée), construit en dur, qui véhicule et confine les fumées, la vapeur d'eau, les autres gaz de combustion, éventuellement toxiques, d'un quelconque foyer, ouvert ou fermé, brûlant, afin de les évacuer ou, plus rarement, de les traiter. Le terme « cheminée » désigne également, par métonymie, l'âtre, le foyer.
A chimney is an architectural ventilation structure made of masonry, clay or metal that isolates hot toxic exhaust gases or smoke produced by a boiler, stove, furnace, incinerator or fireplace from human living areas. Chimneys are typically vertical, or as near as possible to vertical, to ensure that the gases flow smoothly, drawing air into the combustion in what is known as the stack, or chimney effect. The space inside a chimney is called the flue. Chimneys are adjacent to large industrial refineries, fossil fuel combustion facilities or part of buildings, steam locomotives and ships.
In the United States, the term 'Smokestack industry' refers to the environmental impacts of burning fossil fuels by industrial society including the electric industry during its earliest history. The term smokestack (colloquially, stack) is also used when referring to locomotive chimneys or ship chimneys, and the term funnel can also be used

Halema'uma'u crater in the Kilauea caldera spews tonnes of toxic sulphur dioxide gas each day. While we were there, the road on the far side of the caldera was closed because of hazardous air quality.
