toxicity of elemental fumes

You know when you burn the elements/chemicals off the screens above the Bunsen burners?  Which of the elements' fumes are non-toxic to the human lungs?

Everything is toxic at a high enough concentration. ;)
Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
