What Are the Health Implications of Pyrolysis Byproducts?
Exposure to pyrolysis byproducts can have several health effects. For example, inhalation of PAHs and VOCs can lead to respiratory issues, while long-term exposure may increase the risk of developing cancers. Dioxins and furans are particularly concerning due to their high level of toxicity, persistence in the environment, and potential to cause reproductive and developmental problems.
