Mosquito coils contain toxic substances, but they are generally harmless when used rationally.
Ye Qiao, director of the Department of Occupational Diseases and Poison Medicine of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, replied: Mosquito coils are ignited or heated to release insecticidal drugs to achieve mosquito repellent effects.
Traditional mosquito coils are divided into incense sticks and incense sticks, and later liquid and solid electric mosquito coils appeared, and the active ingredients and mosquito repellent principles of various types of mosquito coils are similar.
As early as 2004, mosquito coils were included in the scope of pesticide management. The toxicity of pesticides in China is divided into five grades: highly toxic, highly toxic, moderately toxic, low toxic and slightly toxic. The state stipulates that the toxicity level of mosquito coils is low or slightly toxic.

Mosquito coils contain a variety of harmful substances, and if the human body inhales them for a long time, the harm can be comparable to that caused by mosquitoes to the human body. The main component of mosquito coils is insecticides, usually pyrethroids, which are less toxic, but there are also some mosquito coils that use organochlorine pesticides, organophosphorus pesticides or carbamate pesticides. Mosquito coils also contain binders, preservatives, accelerants, etc., which also contain a variety of harmful ingredients.
According to the research data, only about 8 ashes are left after the mosquito coil is burned, and the other parts are burned into particles that are dispersed into the air, and these particles are very small in diameter, which can enter the bronchi and alveoli through the human respiratory tract, and some of them are deposited to damage the body. More than 90 of the various pesticides contained in mosquito coils form vapors released into the air, in addition, there are toxic compound vapors such as phenol, p-toluene, benzene, xylene, etc. Benzene can cause aplastic anemia and even leukemia.
In addition, mosquito coils also contain lead, cadmium, chromium and other heavy metals, these heavy metals are toxic and have a low boiling point, most of the vapor is released during the burning process of mosquito coils, such as long-term inhalation of this kind of vapor, it will damage health, cadmium is still a potential carcinogen, may cause lung cancer, prostate cancer, etc. In order to prevent the harm of mosquito coils to the human body, it is best not to use mosquito coils in qualified families, and use screen doors, screen windows, mosquito nets and other mosquito prevention instead of mosquito coils. Recommend 6 safe ways to repel mosquitoes When repelling mosquitoes in summer, it is best to use the following 6 safe and natural mosquito repellent methods.
It is best to use a mosquito net or window screen to keep mosquitoes out during rest, because mosquito nets can not only keep mosquitoes out but also prevent wind, but also absorb falling dust and filter the air, especially suitable for children, while screen windows allow fresh air to enter the room and let harmful smoke flow outside. Use mosquito coils, insecticides and other mosquito repellent and mosquito control, and it is best to choose when no one is indoors to prevent poisoning. In the bedroom, place a few boxes of uncovered cooling oils and wind oils, or a pot or two of blooming evening primrose, jasmine, Milan, mint or rose, etc., which mosquitoes will avoid when they can't stand their smell.
Eating raw garlic and oral vitamin B will also produce a smell that mosquitoes dare not approach after being excreted from sweat after being metabolized by human physiology. Generally speaking, still water and blocked gutters are places where mosquitoes breed, mosquitoes will lay eggs in still water and will quickly hatch into larvae, so removing stagnant water in front of and behind the house and indoors can effectively prevent mosquito breeding. It is best to use safe and non-toxic mosquito control products such as "electric mosquito swatters" to avoid mosquito coil poisoning.
If mosquito coils, insecticides, repellents, etc. are used, low-toxicity products should be used as much as possible to minimize the harm.

Not long ago, it was reported that a citizen in Nanjing lit mosquito coils all night, causing chest tightness, wheezing, and weakness, so he came to the conclusion that after a plate of mosquito coils was burned out and the ultrafine particles emitted were inhaled, the damage to the human body was equivalent to a person smoking 6 packs of cigarettes in a row. A plate of mosquito coils = 6 packs of cigarettes?
Is this true, just look at this**.

The main component of monosodium glutamate is monosodium glutamate, which can be broken down during digestion, which is catalyzed by enzymes in brain tissue and can be converted into an inhibitory neurotransmitter. When excessive intake of MSG, this inhibitory neurotransmitter will inhibit various nerve functions in the human body, resulting in a series of symptoms such as dizziness, headache, drowsiness, muscle spasms, etc. In particular, glutamate can combine with zinc in the blood to produce zinc glutamate that cannot be used and is excreted from the body, resulting in zinc deficiency in the human body, so it is recommended not to consume too much monosodium glutamate.
