Pregnant, Smelling Burnt Plastic. Will These Toxic Fumes Affect My Baby?
My landlord is killing the grass with a big black plastic sheet. It is about 100 degrees here every day and I smell burnt plastic outside. This has been going on since June. I ve been smelling the burnt plastic but never realized it was from the cover outside till today. I m pregnant and have a toddler and am concerned about breathing in toxic fumes all summer. Is it possible that we are breathing in toxic fumes or just smelling harmless plastic?

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
We do not know the chemicals being burnt alongwith plastics. It is not a normal practise to burn plastics for 5 months at the cost of social health. Please have a word with your landlord and make him understand the pollution he is causing by burning plastics. I hope he will understand and co operate.
Hope thishelps
