Abstract

Burning mosquito coils in indoor environments maygenerate smoke that can control mosquito effectively.This practice has been used in numerous households in Korea. However the smoke may contain airpollutants of health concern. We conducted the present study to characterize the emission from two commonbrands of mosquito coils from Vietnam and Malaysia, respectively. We measured mass emission of airpollutants of nitrogen oxides (NOx), fine particulate(PM2.5), formaldehyde (HCHO), total volatile organiccompounds (TVOCs), carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in completely closed chamber. Airpollutants concentrations resulting from burning mosquito coils could substantially exceed health-based airquality standards orguidelines. Under the same condition, air pollutants were measured by cigarette smokingto compare mosquito coil. Burning one mosquito coil would release the same amount of PM2.5 mass asburning 20~58 cigarettes. The emission of HCHO from burning one coil can be as high as that released fromburning 27 cigarettes.
