Friend burnt noodles in dorm room micro 1 week ago, aired room, room smelled, still smells, can residual burnt plastic (not smoke) smell be harmful?

No: No, not if one keeps some fresh air flowing. It's just a an odor... To let a person know to clean the microwave oven and the room, and to let some fresh air in.
