Very few things will cause death or sickness in small amounts. Should be aware of them and limit the amount breath or ingested.

Jan 6, 2022 at 1:35 comment added Tagar @crip659 thanks for the link! There is a some level of panic, including in my family and I would like to understand if this is justified.
Jan 6, 2022 at 1:02 comment added crip659 @Tagar Can google for testing labs. It probably won't be cheap, so should have a good reason, instead of just wanting to know. Here is a link of what can be found from house fires, not something I want to breath in often. health.ny.gov/environmental/outdoors/air/smoke_from_fire
