  2. Polystyrene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polystyrene

    If polystyrene is properly incinerated at high temperatures (up to 1000 °C [102]) and with plenty of air [102] (14 m 3 /kg [citation needed]), the chemicals generated are water, carbon dioxide, and possibly small amounts of residual halogen-compounds from flame-retardants. [102]
