What is the protective effect of vitamin e and c on liver toxicity due to mosquito coil smoke?
Burning mosquito coils indoors generates smoke that can control mosquitoes effectivelywe found that pollutant concentrations resulting from In a study conducted ; researchers found that burning mosquito coils could substantially exceed health-based air quality standards or guidelines. Under the same combustion conditions, the tested Malaysian mosquito coils generated more measured pollutants than did the tested Chinese mosquito coils. They also identified a large suite of volatile organic compounds including carcinogens and suspected carcinogens in the coil smoke. Substances in the environment that cause cancer, presumably by inducing mutations, with prolonged exposure. The findings from the present study suggest that exposure to the mosquito coil smoke similar to the ones tested can pose significant acute and chronic health risks. For example, burning one mosquito coil would release the same amount of P[M.sub.2.5] man as burning 75-137 cigarettes. The emission of formaldehyde from bur
