Does Plastic Fume Inhalation Cause Health Problems?
I was boiling baby bottles and left them on the stove. They burned and melted and my house filled with smoke and burned plastic smell. O opened the doors and let most of the smoke out. Can the lingering smell harm my infant ,my four year old and myself?
