Mosquito incense is more toxic than King Pesticide.

Recently, a piece of news that "for fear of being bitten by mosquitoes and ordering 20 plates of mosquito-repellent incense in the house, all five members of the family were poisoned" has maxed out many people's moments. Netizens who are part-time dancers have complained: do you want to die with mosquitoes when you order so many mosquito incense? Although mosquito-repellent incense is a "necessity" for many people like "Arena of Valor", mosquito-repellent incense is more poisonous than "King Pesticide"....

When they woke up in the morning, many people's moments were scrubbed by an ironic piece of news: "for fear of being bitten by mosquitoes and ordering 20 plates of mosquito-repellent incense in the house, all five members of the family were poisoned." Burning mosquito-repellent incense can also put a family into the hospital, netizens have said that this is the rhythm to die with mosquitoes.

Although the family made big news with mosquito-repellent incense, most people still don't know much about its toxicity. The traditional mosquito-repellent incense is mainly disk incense and line incense, and later people developed liquid and solid electric mosquito-repellent incense. Regardless of its form, the effective components and insecticidal principles of all kinds of mosquito incense are similar, and the mosquito repellent effect is achieved by igniting or heating and releasing insecticidal drugs. Because of its toxicity, mosquito-repellent incense is still a serious pesticide!

Seeing this, netizens may start to complain again: mosquito incense is a pesticide? Editor, are you trying to lie to me again? Hey, why do you say "again". ) this is really not a lie. According to the toxicity, pesticides in our country are divided into five grades: highly toxic, highly toxic, moderately toxic, low toxic and slightly toxic. As early as 2004, mosquito-repellent incense was included in the management of pesticides, and the toxicity level was low toxicity or micro-toxicity. As for the moderately poisonous mosquito incense. Friends, please cherish life! As mosquito-repellent incense is widely used in our country, in a broad sense, each of us has inhaled "pesticides"....

The effective insecticidal components of pesticide mosquito incense are organophosphorus, carbamate and pyrethroid. Among them, organophosphorus is the most toxic and low toxic, while pyrethroids are the weakest and slightly toxic. Nowadays, most of the mosquito-repellent incense used is pyrethroid mosquito-repellent incense, and the more toxic organophosphorus mosquito-repellent incense is difficult to find. Generally speaking, mosquito-repellent incense is mainly made of pyrethrum, wood powder, adhesives, etc., of which permethrin with deworming effect accounts for about 0.2%.

Although the insecticidal components of mosquito-repellent incense are not toxic, the damage of ultra-fine particles released by mosquito-repellent incense to health can not be ignored. When the mosquito-repellent incense burns, it will leave some gray ashes, which account for only about 8% of the mass of the mosquito-repellent incense, and the rest of the material is scattered in the air, including a large number of ultra-fine particles. A plate of mosquito-repellent incense can release as many particles as burning 100 cigarettes. These tiny particles of dust can be breathed into the respiratory tract, which can cause asthma in the short term and even the risk of cancer in the long term. In pursuit of better mosquito repellent effect, many people burn a large amount of mosquito incense in sealed rooms, which is extremely harmful to their health.

So is the electronic mosquito incense billed as "smokeless" and "tasteless" non-toxic and harmless? This is not always the case. In addition to not producing a large amount of smoke and particles, electronic mosquito-repellent incense and traditional mosquito-repellent incense have the same repellent principle and composition, both through the release of repellent substances such as pyrethroids to achieve mosquito repellent purposes. Although permethrin is weak in toxicity, it still has some adverse effects on the human body, especially on children.

Although mosquito-repellent incense has many disadvantages, it is relatively safe and reliable if it is used reasonably, as long as it is not like the guy in the news, lighting 20 plates of mosquito-repellent incense in the house with the air conditioner on. In addition to mosquito-repellent incense, the mosquito repellent effect of traditional mosquito repellent toilet water, mosquito repellent liquid and wind oil essence is also excellent.

And the most popular mosquito repellent artifact is naturally my big Chinese mosquito net! During last year's Rio Olympic Games, our Olympic athletes went out with a large number of mosquito nets. In the face of this "golden bell cover" that does not invade 100 mosquitoes, foreign athletes who have suffered from mosquitoes can only envy and hate!
