how harmful is burning rubber, plastic, aluminum, and styrofoam?
we were cleaning the yard and decided to burn everything. styrofoam (large carnival prize gorilla x2, pool raft, foam cooler) plastics (many soda bottles, shrink wrap/large tarp, refridgerator drawers, banner material), rubber (large inflatable tubes/rafts, sandals, life jackets etc) and other materials (glass, aluminum lawn chair and all the beer cans we consumed during, wood with lead paint, shoes, towel, fabrics, fiber board, fiberglass. We inhaled much of the smoke accidentally and felt sick and coughed a lot. How harmful is this??? Do I have cancer now?
You won't have cancer yet, but it may well be the tipping point some time later. These hydrocarbons burn poorly at low temperature, so you've exposed yourself to an unknown cocktail of toxins, plus a whole lot of dangerous carbon particles. Bettr burnt in a proper facility so as to get closer to 100% combustion.
The lead paint is only part of the metal toxins you've inhaled. Lots of the other bit will have given you cadmium, lead and others used as fillers in the plastics.
Really dumb act. Hopefully a one-off? Produced a great pall of smoke though I bet?
