Yes in a way it is because the chemicals from the plastic or and rubber and waste are harmful but on the other hand it is good to burn the medical supplies because burning things that contain germs kills the germs and kills most bacteria that causes diseases.

Yes, because the smoke would dirty our lungs and they could give off toxic fumes as well. The only positive is that doctors would make more money for the illness of others.

If they are burned in accordance with federal guidelines, then no.
The flame is supposed to be hot enough to break down all chemicals, germs, etc.
Just like when outdated military chemical agents are burned.

I would think so. Not gauze or paper products, but I can think of a few things that might make ppl sick if they were to breath in the fumes.

Not as long as it is done in a contained area.

IT DEPENDS ON WHAT THE SUPPLIES ARE. IF IT IS DRUGS OR PLASTIC CONTAINERS THEN IT WILL GIVE OFF TOXIC FUMES.

If done the right way, I don't think it would be.
