Are electric mosquito coils harmful to the human body?

In the summer, many families will use mosquito coils, mainly to achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes and avoiding mosquito bites. However, we will find that there are many types of mosquito coils, including liquid mosquito coils and electric mosquito coils. However, many people have doubts about the use of these mosquito coils because they are worried that it is harmful to human health. So the following will introduce to you in detail whether electric mosquito coils are harmful to the human body.

Electric mosquito coils are just as harmful as mosquito coils: the active ingredients of disc, liquid, and electric mosquito coils are all chemical preparations with insecticidal properties, the only difference is that their carriers are different. Therefore, the statement that "smokeless mosquito coils are less harmful than smoked mosquito coils, and electric mosquito coils are less harmful than disc mosquito coils" is unscientific.

The smoke from burning mosquito coils contains ultrafine particles. The amount of particles released by a plate of mosquito coils is the same as that of 4-6 packs of cigarettes. However, not all mosquito coils produce carcinogens. Only when they are burned incompletely will they produce polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, carbonyl compounds, benzene and other potential carcinogens. The active medicinal ingredient in mosquito coils (including mosquito-killing tablets) is usually 0.2%-0.4% pyrethroids, which have low toxicity and are almost harmless to humans. However, inferior mosquito coils contain 666 powder, realgar powder, etc., which can cause chronic poisoning.

I hope everyone can pay attention to and understand the common sense about mosquito coils, because some ingredients in mosquito coils are indeed harmful to human health. If they are not used correctly, mosquito coil poisoning or other problems may occur. Therefore, when using mosquito coils, you must pay attention to the correct use of mosquito coils.
