What Are The Negative Effects Of Inhaling Burnt Plastic Fumes?
Today I was heating something in the microwave with an old small plastic dish and next thing I know the microwave is making weird noise. I went over to check on it and upon opening the microwave realized the plastic had burnt and before I could react, some sort of fumes came out and I immediately new they were toxic based on the smell and the fact that it made my eyes water and throat burn. How worried should I be?
