Is breathing this 8 hours a day bad for you.

very slowly but quite surely you are breathing in toxins that the body is just not designed to withstand, if all you are doing is sealing plastic bags then the amount of particles will be very minute and your body will be able to deal with most of it by trapping it in in various mucous mebrane’s and what not but after prolonged exposure you may be unfortunate and pick up enough carcinogens to cause some kind of problem.
I think the use of a proper ventilation and extraction system and/or masks will greatly reduce the risk (edit. also there might be a greater risk to your eyes than to say your respirory system
