Is It Dangerous To Inhale Rubber Smoke?
my son threw his sticky rubber toy on to our light fitting and did not tell us. We did not realise until we saw the thick black smoke. Some of the rubber was still intact and the rest was melted liquid. The house now smells awful. Are the fumes toxic?

Hello dear
Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have gone through your concern in depth .
* The smoke of rubber is some what noxious to lungs , but in small
amount it is cleared from the natural immune system clearance of
the lungs .
* If in large amount can give rise to serious detrimental effects
ranging from chocking sensation to severe bronchospasm .
Hope this clears your doubts .
