Will Plastic And Paper Fumes Inhalation Affect A Pregnancy?

My daughter put a paper to go container with a plastic lid in the microwave. When I found it, smoke was coming out of the microwave and the smell is very strong all over the house. I m pregnant and not sure if it s safe to be in the house with the fumes.

Hello ma'am and welcome.

I do not think there should be an issue with pregnancy, but it is still best to report to an ER to make sure you are breathing well enough, and do not experience any side effects of inhaling the fumes which can put you in a vulnerable position with neurological and respiratory symptoms.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes.
