Is sandalwood mosquito coil poisonous?

I believe that for many friends, in the hot summer, although you can wear beautiful

Sandalwood is a very long-lasting fragrance. When you first smell it, you won’t feel that it has anything special to offer, but as time goes by, it will emit a richer aroma. The scent of citrus fruits such as lemon is just the opposite. At first, they emit a refreshing and attractive aroma, but then they become less strong and disappear quickly. The answer is that mosquito coils contain 4 types of harmful substances

It is reported that the active ingredient of most mosquito coils (0.2%-0.4%) is pyrethroid insecticide, which is extracted from a cypermethrin insecticide. More than 99% of other substances are organic fillers, adhesives, dyes and other additives, which allow mosquito coils to burn without flame. What most consumers don’t know is that the smoke from burning this type of mosquito coil contains four types of substances that are harmful to the human body, namely ultrafine particles (particulate matter with a diameter of less than 2.5 microns), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), carbonyl compounds (such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde) and benzene.

Severe cases may cause cancer

The amount of ultrafine particles released by lighting a plate of mosquito coils is the same as the amount of ultrafine particles released by burning 75-137 cigarettes. The ultrafine particles released can enter and remain in the lungs. Therefore, they may cause asthma in the short term and cancer in the long term.

I believe that through our learning above, most of our friends have their own unique insights and more standard answers on whether sandalwood mosquito coils are poisonous. Of course, what I want to tell everyone is that, especially for families with infants and young children, you must use less mosquito coils and sandalwood at home, because these incense contain some chemical substances that will have an adverse effect on the organ development of infants and young children.
