Question:

inhaling plastic fumes?

ok well last night while i was cooking i somehow managed to melt some plastic which gave off fumes obviously. As soon as i notices my flatmates and I opened all the windows etc and removed the plastic but inevitably she inhaled some the fumes. we was in there for about 10 minutes max sorting it out. I know that it is not good for you with the the chemicals released but how bad will 10 minutes be???? also take into account this was like 12 hours ago too thanks

Answer:

This is not good at all. Most plastics give off chlorine gas when submitted to open flames. Airplanes the crash and burn give off plastic fumes in the form of chlorine gasses and are more likely to kill the passengers then the crash. My daughter walk through some burning plastic from a bon fire a neighbor made, she passed out from lack of Oxygen, she was rushed to the ER and given air. She had asthma very bad but never thought about the fumes from plastic. It's not always the fire that kills but the fumes (gasses) that it gives off.
What do you need a pen for? Use a big plastic bottle. Burn a cig hole in the side and put the joint into that. Inhale from the top.
