I think they mean of small plastic particles coming off the cheap device and polluting the air.

More likely they mean volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Never heard of this. Also, how would it differ from any cheap plastics coming off any cheap fan made partly or wholly out of plastic?

Any source on that?
