While I hardly ever read CHD, this article from today adds further details:

The most important information is this:

Chemicals that can be released from plastic when it burns include dioxins, furans, mercury and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs).

Dioxins, furans and PCBs have similar toxicity levels, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), which says that “people who have been unintentionally exposed to large amounts of these chemicals have developed a skin condition called chloracne, liver problems, and elevated blood lipids.”

Animals exposed to the chemicals in lab studies have developed cancers and reproductive problems.

Exposure to high amounts of mercury can rapidly cause serious lung damage, and low concentrations can cause “neurological disturbances, memory problems, skin rash, and kidney abnormalities,” according to the CDC.

Of course, according to the US govt, the major threat comes from cooking on gas stoves.
