    Kind of random question, does burning styrofoam produce cyanide? I heard that statement and couldn't understand how it would be possible

      to my knowledge it's not possible. Cyanide needs nitrogen and the styrofoam molecule has none. In practice maybe when they make styrofoam they add a nitrogen containing molecule. Or I suppose it's possible that it interacts with nitrogen in air, but I'm skeptical until I do the free energy calculation to prove it. I think a bigger problem is that it doesn't fully combust the carbon down to CO2 and then you're breathing in partially decomposed products which might be harmful.

      @@TaylorSparks Thanks for your quick and thorough response! The absence of nitrogen is exactly why I doubted it could be accurate. I appreciate your input. Take care!
