Spray foam and steam riser

Options

I am renting an apartment and I noticed the steam radiator risers at the ceiling are plugged with what I think is great stuff expanding foam. I looked it up and saw that this foam is only rated for up to 240F and says not to use with radiators . I heard that steam risers can get to around 220 if working normally. Is this rating for when the foam starts to degrade or does it literally combust at that temperature. I want to know if this is an urgent fire risk I need to worry about or not. Thanks for any help
