The unpleasant odors produced by burning plastics mainly come from nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, hydrogen chloride, etc., produced by burning, such as SO2, NO2, which are all gases with strong pungent odors, and also include some hydrocarbon odors, which are not fully burned. The aromatic hydrocarbons produced have some special odors, and the odors of various molecules are mixed together, so most of the odors produced by the burning of plastics are relatively unpleasant.
