Mosquito Coils

"One study estimated the particulate matter produced from burning one mosquito coil was equivalent to burning 75-137 cigarettes. This amount of exposure poses a health risk, but there is a lack of clear evidence that the long-term exposure to mosquito coil smoke increases the risk of more serious health impacts such as lung cancer. In the face of this uncertainty, the key message should be to avoid prolonged exposure, especially in enclosed spaces."

Artist's note:

Any resemblance between the mosquito coil's shape and the Milky Way's elegant, spiral structure is purely coincidental. Nor were any animals harmed during the painting of this series.
