That is the industry I work in, cables.

There are 2 main types of SWA (Steel Wire Armoured, which is power cable). PVC and LSF (although LSF also has LSOH). LSOH is Low Smoke Zero Halogen and LSF is Low Smoke & Fumes. PVC is cheaper but much of that is underground. In a house itself the majority of wiring is 2C+E (2 Core and Earth) which is relatively low fume as well. You will also find lots of CT100, but that is used in case of fires, so is pretty safe really.

The biggest concern would be the carpets and lino-flooring. Those would produce SOOOOO many more fumes!

It's the older wiring that will be a danger.
