What Are The Bad Effects Of Inhaling Burnt Plastic?

My sis and I were in the house and she accidentally left the stove on and burnt some plastic thing. We were in the house for 30 mins before we discovered the plastic and we immediately offed the stove and ran out of the house after we found it. Will we be alright?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

It is extremely unlikely that this would cause any permanent harm to either of you.

For temporary symptoms to have occurred, the two of you would have needed to be in close proximity with any fumes that resulted from the object being burned.

I hope this helps
