Dangerous fumes from PVC pipe burning?

[Scarpozzi]

The suite I work in is next to a machine room. An electrician there burned a large 3" PVC pipe somehow and it caused a mass amount of smoke to get into the building's ventilation system. This affected the building as a whole. Does anyone know what I breathed in? The back of my throat started getting scratchy and I've been coughing a lot. I've since relocated to another building for the rest of the afternoon, but I'm still feeling light-headed and a sore throat.

 

You should go to a doctor: TEXT

Combustible, self-extinguishing. No explosion risk. If forced to burn will emit dense acrid fumes containing noxious and toxic compounds including carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride. Carbon dioxide is an asphyxiant. Carbon monoxide is toxic. Hydrogen chloride is highly acidic and a severe irritant in low concentrations. All are potentially lethal in high
concentrations with sustained exposure. Hydrogen chloride has a highly detectable pungent odour, and is intolerable in very low concentrations. The risk of exposure to hazardous levels for sustained periods is therefore considered low.

I just called the dept of safety and they said the PLs weren't high enough to really hurt anything, but my office shares a wall with the machine room.... I think I'm going to wait and see if things clear up by Monday or claim workers comp to see a doc. Thanks for the info....that's exactly what I was looking for.
