In our village, people use plastic covers to light the fire while cooking(plastic covers are used as fuel for cooking),will it cause cancer?do we experience any symptoms? what are the alternatives for this?

Burning plastic releases toxic gases and substances that are carcinogenic Your lungs will be the first to let you know, difficulty in breathing and shortness of breath. Try to use cooking oils, wood chips, charcoal and anything that burns that is non toxic. Ask other villages what they use. No more plastic, the whole village will be exposed to cancer causing fumes.
