Try some PVC coated wire with metal nearby- in every Fastrack switch.

The gas produced from overheated and/or burning is both toxic and corrosive, PVC Health Hazards

  • hydrogen chloride, which is a corrosive, highly toxic gas that can burn skin and cause severe, permanent respiratory damage; and
  • dioxin, the most dangerous known man-made carcinogen, which will persist in the environment for a long period of time. PVC is the largest contributor to the world’s dioxin burden.
