I didn't know where else to put this. How dangerous is it

Wanna know why firefighters used to die a lot after they finished their job? They'd take their masks off after a fire was done burning.

The fumes from plastic would work their way through their bodies kill them in their sleep when they went home. Plastic burns some bad shit, OP. It can't be stressed enough that you're not breathing in even a bit of that shit.

Find out exactly what kind of plastic.
Google "[kind] exposure dangers"

From what I know, its a lot of different kinds of plastic that's been shipped from various companies.

Just like the anon above mentioned, the plastic fumes stay on the firefighters, which is why they get sick. I worked as a cleaner for large scale, reused cooking oil containers, and the degreasers we had to use, would burn us if we weren't careful.
At the end of your shift change your clothing, take the clothing that you worked in, a plastic bag then, when you get home get it to the wash, and wash yourself afterward.

Nah, that would be enough, really. Most plastics can be harmful only when inhaled or digested(and in this case the danger is more of a "will it get out through my asshole" kinda danger). Most of the effects are from prolonged exposure during several years.
Extrusion lines melt plastic, not burn it, and there is a significant difference. When any sort of a polymer burns, in violently reacts with oxygen, creating all sorts of potentially dangerous chemicals. When heated, say, in an industrial electrical heater, it should be fine, unless there is a fire.
So goggles, respirator and gloves should be enough to keep you from harm. But change your clothing too, just to be completely safe.
And watch out for plastic burns. Those are nasty as shit.

If at all possible buy a biohazard suit that can be washed after work every day and shower after work every day. Put suit in bag between leaving and washing so as not to let fumes/smell escape.

I changed my clothing, never put it into a bag or washed it right away. I've also been here a little over 2 years, so I don't know what kind of damage might have been done to my body.
Probably just going to put in my two weeks, kinda sick of this place anyway.

Ok well don't come crying to us when you're jacking it in San Diego. Srsly job market is bad these days.

I understand what you're saying, but I live nowhere near San Diego. There's job openings where I live, I'm not quite worried about finding a job, just worried about the one I'm currently at.
