A recent survey of 6 1000 Chinese in Singapore also shows that people who burn incense frequently are twice as likely to develop cancer in flat cells of the respiratory tract. Lin Tao, an expert from the Professional Committee of Hygienic Incense of China Commodity Association, pointed out that incense on the market includes traditional incense for general sacrifice and fragrant incense, which is mainly used in rooms, restaurants, toilets and other places. No matter what kind of incense it is, it will release a variety of harmful substances, including carbon monoxide, benzene, formaldehyde, etc., which will cause respiratory diseases. Experiments have proved that benzene, a carcinogen, released by all incense samples in the laboratory with set exhaust volume, temperature and humidity, exceeds the indoor air quality index. Another carcinogen, formaldehyde, is twice as high as the standard. In addition, the appearance is not much different from that of traditional incense, and the pollutants released are almost the same as those of ordinary incense; Perfume with fragrant smell lit indoors will also release harmful substances.
Therefore, it is suggested that family members should not immerse themselves in this "strong fragrance" all day, and should reduce the time and frequency of using incense. You can light a wick before going out to open the window every day. When you get home, you will leave a faint fragrance at home. If there is an incense burner at home, it is best to keep indoor ventilation when burning incense every day. In addition, you can also choose electric incense, as long as you turn on the electricity, the fire will always be on, which can not only pray for peace, but also be beneficial to health.
