After spending the better part of the last decade implementing e-recycle fees on new purchases and diverting plastic waste from being sent to china, all in the name of them not burning plastic - we turn around and burn plastic for sport.
Is burning plastic not the fastest way to trigger cancer?
If so why is 3D printing not considered a major health risk?

This may come as a surprise, but you're not supposed to burn your 3D printed creations.

LOL 
I'm surprised... Wait, I'm not..

How else would you get that awesome dripping plastic sound?

I was referring to how the items are created by heating the chemicals.

Because there is money in it the health concerns will be dismissed.

Oh you want to be serious, how boring 
Well ok, ABS in particular does release some fumes (which you should not inhale too much) when you're printing with it, not as bad as burning it though.

Because not all plastics are the same.

Can you give examples of chemicals that are safe to breathe while being heated?

Dihydrogen Monoxide is pretty safe.

You mean good old 7789-20-0? Or maybe oxidane?

Yes - but that's the trade name...

It has been several years since I needed to know that information and had to look it up.

lol water right!
Maybe I should have limited that to heating Polymer chemicals

Really? IF thats what you think, I've got a live steam vent I want you to sniff. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Everything is dangerous once you get it outside a pretty narrow temperature window: that's a property of organic life forms, not of the material being heated!

Bonus: no one will actually read the entire report.

Just be sure to put the current cover sheet on it. Do you need a copy?
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.

I had to do something that sounded almost similar, but I had to do it in a windows form (so they could change values in the report and use it to drive another system for planning the quarter's sales). I used whatever flavor of a DataGrid was popular in .NET 2.0 and had everything working reasonably.
There was too much information, so they added requirements for colors, fonts, etc. to make it easier to read. I quickly found out that you can change the fonts for a grid. You can change it for a row. You can change it for a column. But when you start changing settings PER CELL performance goes to unusable. 
It was funny to me.
Amazingly, it became a stable of the business. It looked like a Christmas Tree with all the flashing data.

Nah - think of 4 point...

He's using 8 point: 8pt
I'm suggesting 4 point: 4pt
It's only illegible if you don't possess a microscope...

so at least 728 data cells per cost center/page. Formatting is all over the place as lines contain different types of data, some dollar values, some ratios, etc. Even at 8 pt. it will be tough getting it all to fit. 
Oh yeah, it needs to be done by tomorrow.
