The amount of smoke emitted from a mosquito coil is as harmful as 100 cigarettes. According to an expert, a significant number of people in India are being harmed by the washing of these coils. The study was recently conducted by the Chest Research Foundation of Malaysia. Sandeep Salvi, director of the foundation, said : " Many people are unaware that a mosquito coil can do as much damage to their lungs as a hundred cigarettes." He added that there is a lack of public awareness about the effects of air pollution on the human body . Indoor air pollution is also fatal for the body. Professor ABM Faruk, Acting Dean, Faculty of Pharmacy, Dhaka University, said that there is mention of the use of Elathrin written on the wrapper of the mosquito coil. However , there is no mention of whether there is any other material. Elethrin is used in mosquito coils , he added . However, certain doses must be used. The use of elethrin with coils is generally permitted. A minimum of 0.3 percent has been used in these coils. However , there is no mention of the maximum amount of elethrin used . At least here 's the thing , it's not right. There is something wrong. Or they are hiding it on purpose. My guess is , there's more to it than elethrin. Elethrin should be used with caution. Children should be kept out of reach. Prolonged use is also harmful for the elderly. Generally, it is not advisable for adults to use coils for a long time. As a result, it is harmful to asthma , respiratory system , kidneys and liver. In addition, the harmful effects of the coil can cause dry throat , dizziness , nausea , difficulty breathing , and a feeling of suffocation. Experts at the University of Lরreck in Germany have provided some startling information. The smoke from the wood and coconut beads used to make the coils is so fine that it can easily reach the airways in our airways and lungs and accumulate there, they said . And to be very fine, the particles can stay floating in the air for a few days. This means that even after a long time the mosquito coil never leaves the coil smoke particles in the airways of the people living in the house.
