Answer by  clp1001 (30)

Yes, dangerous toxins are released through the fumes which can cause damage to the respiratory system. The damage usually occurs in the nasal, throat, and lung lining and can result in dizziness, nausea and difficulty breathing. Prolonged exposure to the fumes can lead to long-term respiratory illnesses, coma, and death.

Very much so. The fumes from the burning plastic can cause asphyxiation and kill you almost instantaneously. Inhaling fumes of burning plastic is almost the same as breathing in or inhaling smoke. It damages your lungs and, in some cases, lead to cancer. In short, breathing in burning plastic fumes can kill you.

Apparently its okay to breathe in the fumes from burning plastic, if someone opens several boxes of baking soda, air fresheners and lots of fans to blow the fumes around. Or so I'm being told by my employer. See you all at the morgue.

I think you are totally wrong! (or your employer is totally wrong) plastic is extremely harmful and you can get killed if you are exposed to these gases for a long period of time!  add a comment

Burning plastic can harm your lungs and kill you. My 2 year old was playing in the kitchen found some plastic containers and he was pretending to cook. Turned on the oven to cook corn bread and melted the containers had to vent out the whole house no cornbread tonight

I wouldn't be worried about the cornbread. You should be concerned with the fact that your two year old was able to turn the oven on. If your comment is true, you're blessed that somthing much worse didn't happen.  add a comment

Why on earth is your 2-year-old unsupervised like that? Are you inviting him to kill himself? Great parenting.  add a comment

I think she means the 2 year old put plastic containers in the cold oven and when she went to heat it up for cornbread she didn't realize the plastic was in there.  add a comment

The burning plastic gives off toxic gases, and these gases can harm your body in many ways. Don't try to burn plastic yourself!
