    Yes, all of them. Mosquito coils contain 4 types of harmful substances According to reports, the active ingredient of most mosquito coils (is pyrethroid insecticide, which is extracted from an insecticide of permethrin, and more than 99% of other substances are organic fillers, binders, dyes and other additives, so that mosquito coils can be smoldered without flames. What most consumers don't know is that the smoke burned by these mosquito coils contains four types of substances that are harmful to humans, namely ultrafine particles (particulate matter smaller than microns in diameter), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), carbonyl compounds (such as formaldehyde and acetaldehyde) and benzene.

    In severe cases, it can cause cancer The ultrafine particles released by lighting a plate of mosquito coils are the same as the amount of burning 75-137 cigarettes, and the ultrafine particles released can enter and stay in the lungs, so it may cause asthma in the short term and cancer in the long term. Relevant experts said that the pollutants released by mosquito coils may have a strong toxic reaction to humans, aggravate asthma (causing shortness of breath and chest disease) to acute poisoning, resulting in dyspnea, headache, eye pain, feeling suffocated, itchy, bronchitis, cold cough, nausea, sore throat and earache, etc., and more seriously, those particles and gases will be inhaled to the bottom of the lungs, which may cause cancer. 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 you choose mosquito coils, insecticides, repellents, etc., it is advisable to choose low-toxicity products as much as possible to minimize the harm, and finally, it will not affect the joints and soft tissues.
