May pose health risk: A recent study looked at the potential effects of mosquito coils and health risks. The study suggest cancer causing chemicals may be released in the smoke. The study found burning one coil can release as much toxic material as burning more than 75 cigarettes in the room at once! Of course this is a single study and more work needs to be done, but be cautious.
