theirs health hazard for burning incense sticks in your home!?

Question

is this true, if so what kind

Answer 1

The burning of incense sticks causes the emission of a strong smoke and fragrance. Because the burning in general takes place in confined environments (e.g. closed rooms) the influence may be heavy.
The team from Taiwan's Cheng Kung university analysed smoke from a Taipei temple and found that it contained high levels of chemical compounds blamed for causing lung cancer.
In particular, researchers found levels of benzopyrene - a
particularly carcinogenic compound - to be 45 times higher than in a household with cigarette smokers.
The major indoor combustion pollutants are carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), particles (PM10), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

Answer 2

Burning incense can be if you happen to be sensitive to strong fragrances. If the weather allows open the windows when you burn it so that the fragrance is diluted. Plus, of course, you should burn it on a surface that won't catch fire and keep an eye on it.

Answer 3

It has something to do with the smoke. I know as I've gotten older, I can't tolerate the smoke from burning incense. It irritates my throat, nose, and lungs.

Answer 4

Well you are putting smoke in the air.
