hello
welcome to HCM
rubber contains numerous chemicals, which when burnt leave of harmful products, which if inhaled cause many effects to the person.
but it is not that all those who are exposed will develop problems.
it depends on their immunity.
it gets settled in the lungs and causes infection of the lungs.
