AUGUST 28. COPENHAGEN - There are several users of incense sticks across the globe. But if the team of researchers at the Staten Serum Institute is to be believed, burning incense sticks can be harmful for your health.
It has been found in their studies that these sticks are responsible for causing respiratory tract cancers. When incense sticks are burnt, they produce particulate matter and carcinogens. These substances are considered to cause respiratory tract cancer and lung cancer.
This report is based on the study of researchers that they performed on thousands of people from China and Singapore.
In due course of their research, scientists found that several people, on whom the effects were studied, developed cancers.
It is also believed that the incense sticks may cause other diseases apart from lung cancer and respiratory tract cancer.
The researchers said that as incense sticks are thus found to create problems for those who use them, they should be used with a great deal of caution. It is however believed that inhaling the incense sticks does not directly increase the chance of acquiring lung cancer.
Scientists have suggested that people should try to avoid using incense sticks as much as they can.
