Sleeping with coil is dangerous
Mosquito repellent coils contain DDT, other carbon phosphorous and hazardous substances. Sleeping in a closed room by lighting a mosquito coil does not allow the gas inside the room to come out. Carbon monoxide fills the entire room as the coil continues to burn. The amount of oxygen in the room decreased. Gradually, carbon monoxide fills the person’s body, due to which he has difficulty in breathing and the risk of death due to suffocation increases. According to a research, one coil is as dangerous as 100 cigarettes. About PM 2.5 smoke comes out of it, it is very harmful for the body.
