Are Mosquito Coils Safe?
Let’s be honest —
They’re cheap.
They’re everywhere.
And they seem to work.
But… are they safe?
What’s in a Mosquito Coil?
Mosquito coils release insecticides (like allethrin or pyrethrin) mixed with smoke-producing materials when burned.
That smoke drives mosquitoes away —
But you inhale it too.
A scientific study published in Environmental Health Perspectives confirmed that:
Burning one mosquito coil can release as much formaldehyde as burning 51 cigarettes.
And the fine particles (PM₂.₅) it emits can be equal to 75–137 cigarettes.
Formaldehyde is no joke — it’s a known cancer-causing chemical linked to:
Lung, eyes and throat irritation
Headaches, dizziness
Long-term cancer risk (especially nasal and throat cancers)
Especially risky for babies, asthmatics, and people with weak lungs
In poorly ventilated rooms, the risk is much higher
So, are they 100% safe?
No.
They work, but they’re not risk-free.
Safer Alternatives:
Use mosquito nets (especially for sleeping)
Install window/door screens
Try plug-in repellents or electric zappers
Use natural repellents (like citronella, eucalyptus oils — with caution)
Final Say from #PharmacistWeySabi:
Mosquito coils may be convenient, but they’re not ideal for daily or overnight use — especially in small or unventilated rooms.
Choose healthier protection — for you and your family. 
So while you're chasing away mosquitoes, don’t invite cancer instead.
