Is polyester toxic when burned?

Answer 1

When polyester is burned it produces carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and water, just like if you were burning a cellulose product. So, while CO2 and CO can both be fatal in concentrations, the fumes are no more dangerous than an ordinary wood fire. However, polyester melts at fairly low temperatures; when polyester garments are ignited they will cling to the skin and severely complicate and exacerbate burns and their treatment. For this reason clothing such as Under Armour, that is otherwise highly regarded for its perspiration-wicking properties, has been banned by the Forest Service and the Marines.
