Then, we were told that arsenic is in styrofoam, which is released when it is burned, so we burn in a well vented area (outside). Another urban legend! There is no arsenic in Styrofoam, and no way the carbon compounds in it could "turn into" arsenic. That doesn't mean there aren't other noxious things being released, though. I believe it is true about arsenic's building up in the system. I remember reading mysteries where the victims were poisoned slowly, over a long period of time with small amounts, and it built up in the hair.
