蚊香一直是热带及亚热带地区居民用来扑灭蚊虫的工具,虽然我们已经了解蚊香杀蚊的机制,但长久使用对人所造成的伤害,却无具体报道。蚊香除了含除虫菊精(d-allethrin)外,尚含许多有机物及木屑添加物等成份,燃烧后所产生的物质及烟雾粒子对呼吸系统所造成的影响急待探讨。有些学者(1)曾以大白鼠做为实验材料,研究蚊香的高剂量、短期效应,而本实验是将小鼠每日在模拟空气箱中吸入低刘量的蚊香后,探讨对呼吸器官之组织构造及代谢上的长期影响。 Mosquito-repellent incense has always been a tool used by residents in tropical and sub-tropical areas to fight mosquitoes. Although we have known about mosquito-killing mechanisms, mosquito-repellent incense has not been specifically reported for its long-term impact on people. In addition to mosquito repellents containing pyrethrin (d-allethrin), but also contains many organic matter and sawdust additives and other ingredients, the resulting substances after combustion and smoke particles on the respiratory system caused by the impact of urgent discussion. Some scholars (1) have used rats as experimental materials to study the high dose and short-term effects of mosquito coils. In this experiment, the mice were exposed to low amount of mosquito coils in a simulated air chamber daily Long-term effects on tissue structure and metabolism.
