Not likely: I wouldn't be completely surprised by an increased risk of hypersensitivity to some of the chemicals (you might be more likely to get short of breath around the same chemicals), but this has never been studied. I would be surprised by increased risk of malignancy (also unlikely to have been studied). Answer: we don't know, but not likely
