I breathed in electrical fumes after the fuse of hairdryer blown and broke. are there carcinogens in electrical fumes?

In order to cause cancer, you would need to be exposed to carcinogens more than a brief exposure, as you describe. What you describe would be a very brief exposure. Was there good ventilation in the area where it occurred? This would also decrease your exposure. Best of luck to you!
