Are duraflame logs safe when pg?

Random question I know, but I can't find any info anywhere on it. Does anyone know if it's safe to burn/breathe in smoke from Duraflame logs when you're pregnant?

I think you are fine. I asked my OB about our woodstove and she said as long as you have good ventilation in the house and aren't sitting on the fire sucking in the smoke you are good.  I just wouldn't use the duraflame log everyday.

They're not fine even for non-pg people.  Do you know how many chemicals are released from those logs when burned?  ::shudder::
