Subject:      Toxic plastic?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"


Not all plastic is in fact toxic to burn.  Although the standard culprits on
burning are cyanide related compounds, carbon monoxide, chlorines etc. Try
burning some acrylic plastics for a change(lucite, plexiglas, tm's).  Very
clean burn, H2O, CO2 and maybe a little CO if you don't fan it enough(like
your emmisions are supposed to approach).  Chemists please respond with your
favoirites or contradictions.  I'm interested if I'm wrong.  I'd also like to
know which eco-fans out there put vacuum cutoff guages that turn off the AC.
when the motor becomes less efficient.
