Burning newspaper ink can release toxic chemicals such as carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and volatile organic compounds. Inhaling these substances can be harmful to human health, leading to respiratory problems and other health issues. It is best to avoid burning newspaper or any printed materials indoors or in poorly ventilated areas to minimize the risk of exposure to these toxins.
