Mosquitoes have also created terror in the summer season. Mosquitoes spread dangerous diseases like malaria, dengue, chikungunya, so it is also important to avoid them. Mosquito repellent coils, incense sticks or electric refill machines are used in most homes. Scientists believe that the smoke of these mosquito repellent incense sticks can not only damage the lungs but can also cause cancer. Not only the coils, but the aromatic incense sticks used in worship are equally harmful for health.
smoke is carcinogenic
Research by the Chest Research Foundation has revealed that mosquito repellent coils and incense sticks contain cancer-causing substances. At the same time, earlier studies in China and Taiwan have also proved that this smoke is related to lung cancer. Dr Sudip Salvi, the director of the foundation, has told that burning one mosquito coil in a closed room is equivalent to smoking 100 cigarettes. The pyrethrin found in coils is a pesticide that damages the lungs.
Lungs get spoiled by no smoke coil
Now no smoke coils are also coming in the market, they do not smoke, but carbon monoxide is released in large quantities. It is harmful to the lungs. The liquid machines that come to repel mosquitoes are yet to be researched, but they also damage the lungs. We close the room by applying them, then we inhale these chemicals ourselves, which is not good for health.
this is the best way
It is important to avoid mosquitoes, for this you should not allow water to collect at home. Pour kerosene where water collects. Keep the house clean. Best way is to use mosquito net. Especially those whose children are small and there are elderly people at home or else there may be problems related to lungs in the long run. Some Essential oils can also be used.
