Summer is actually beautiful.
Sunshine, seaside, sand, watermelon, and popsicles from childhood in a foam box.
But summer is not very beautiful, and the biggest reason is —– mosquitoes! son! special! do not! many!
After the beginning of summer, as the temperature gradually rises, in addition to the problem of being bored and irritable, the discomfort caused by mosquito bites is also very disturbing to the public.
Especially after night falls, as a miniature bomber, it seems that it does not stop for a moment, circling around, waiting for an opportunity to hunt for blood, and fighting against mosquitoes at this time has also become a daily compulsory course.
Therefore, after entering the midsummer season, many people will choose to use mosquito coils to achieve the effect of repelling mosquitoes.
Mosquito coils are poisonous and cause cancer?
It is reported that the harmful substances released by a plate of mosquito coils are equivalent to 100 cigarettes, which can cause a series of cancers such as leukemia and lung cancer…
But the theory that mosquito coils are easy to cause cancer appears mainly because certain benzene carcinogens have been detected in mosquito coils.
But will mosquito coils cause cancer?
It is mainly based on the product quality and usage of mosquito coils.
First of all, in terms of product quality, if you choose a qualified product that has passed the national test, then if it is used correctly, it will usually not cause too much harm to human health.
Most mosquito coils on the market have active ingredients of (pseudo)pyrethroid insecticides, which have fast knockdown, strong insecticidal power, and low toxicity and low The disadvantage of residual pesticides is that they are not stable in the air.
Fortunately, as early as the 1970s, the promotion of synthetic pyrethroids.
According to its toxicology, mosquito coils can quickly knock down and poison mosquitoes. Mosquitoes will also contact this kind of air through sensory organs, and instinctively generate escape reactions.
Therefore, it is worth reassuring that the mechanism of action of this insecticide, as well as the dosage in the environment, has not yet reached the standard of posing a threat to humans and will not cause health hazards to humans.
If you encounter inferior mosquito coils, it may contain DDT
If you choose substandard products with unknown ingredients because of low prices, it is likely that the unsafe factor will be greatly increased.
Compared with regular products, most insecticides of inferior mosquito coils may contain DDT and 666, rather than (pseudo) pyrethrins, Although these substances have strong insecticidal effects, they may cause chronic poisoning in the human body.
In addition, some inferior mosquito coils also contain arsenic, benzopyrene and other harmful substances, which also pose a greater threat to the human body.
So, when choosing mosquito coils, in addition to selecting qualified products, you also need to carefully observe the active ingredients of the products.
If the structure is loose and then goes out quickly, or the smell is strange and the body feels uncomfortable, it is recommended to replace it in time.
Is the electric mosquito coil reliable?
Actually, electric mosquito coils are not necessarily “0 poisonous”, and their principle of repelling mosquitoes is not much different from ordinary mosquito coils.
These electric mosquito coils also contain chemical preparations with insecticidal functions. The different fragrance types released by electric mosquito coils are only added with different fragrance ingredients.
It should be noted that both traditional mosquito coils and electric mosquito coils are generally used in rooms under 15 square meters. If the room is too large, the concentration of insecticidal ingredients will decrease, which will naturally greatly reduce the insecticidal effect. .
However, for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or children with asthma, etc., and the family has respiratory diseases, it is more recommended to use Electric mosquito coils.
Short inhalation of mosquito coil smoke may harm respiratory health p>
In terms of usage, if a large amount of mosquito coil smoke is inhaled in a short distance, although it is uncertain whether it will definitely cause cancer, it will indeed have an adverse effect on respiratory health.
However, if the mosquito coil is lit for a long distance and the direct inhalation of the mosquito coil smoke is actively avoided, the adverse effects of using the mosquito coil are often very small.
Therefore, the common theory that “lighting on mosquito coils will cause cancer” is actually quite extreme, and you don’t need to panic or be overly nervous about it.
It is indeed very necessary to actively develop a good habit of using mosquito coils and try to buy quality mosquito coil products.
After all, mosquitoes are really too! bother! people! !
