I would think it depends on exactly what type of pipe, how much, what kind of and how hot the steam you are referring to is, and what level of exposure the person has to these, over time. I know from reading about it that the resin-permeated felt liners used as CIPP pipe, for repairs, at certain levels, certainly can be toxic using steam at too high a temperature over time.
PVC pipe does off-gas or leach out chemicals when used under certain conditions. Polyethylene pipe does, too. PEs and PEx pipe, I do not know. And, whether or not if it does, it is at levels considered toxic or unsafe, I also do not know.
Contact a local university with a good materials science research and engineering department and lab, your county health department, state EPA office, or a pipe or steam fitters specialty construction or supply house, for more information specific to your question.
