Experts have interpreted the research on incense smoke and its health risks. They recommend consumers take these risks seriously.

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) emphasizes that burning incense can indeed increase risks of certain health problems. This is especially the case if done indoors where smoke is most likely to be inhaled.

According to the EPA, the risks include:

cancer
asthma
contact dermatitis
The EPA didn’t say what amount and how much could contribute to this risk, or any limitations to research thus far.
