Answers:
You will be ok!.

But it isn't good to be around the fumes that burning plastic puts off a lot!. Because the black soot contains carcinogens and can cause cancer!. I wouldn't be worried about it though!. At least not since you were outside, and weren't exposed for an extended period of time!.

Try to avoid it though!. It isn't anything good!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should be fine!. For one thing you were in a more then well ventilated area, being outside!. The other reason I say it is because I work in a plastic shop/factory and have smelled burning plastic often enough!. I'm fine still, it isn't healthy if you were involved in long-term exposure but short term you'll live!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I don't think you have anything to worry about!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
