Yes. Sewer gas is can be extremely dangerous. Not only can it make you sick, it can kill the occupants of a building that does not have safe Plumbing. That is why, in most regions, only qualified plumbers are permitted to make changes to plumbing, and plumbing installations must be inspected by an authorized official.

It depends on what is burning. You may be allergic to it. For instance, many people are sensitive to burning oak, or woods that have been chemically treated.

Can paint fumes make a baby sick?

While paint fumes should not make a baby horribly ill, I would not recommend having a baby inhale paint fumes for a long period of time. In adults, paint fumes are known to cause headaches by irritating the nose and throat nerves. So I would suggest, if you have painted and cannot avoid having the baby around paint fumes, to open a window or put a fan in the room to help air out the space. for more information: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/paint/msg0110170323994.html
