Abstract
Submicron particles with particle size of 0.01 – 0.1 μm would reach alveolar region causing health effect including cardiovalular and lung diseases. The particles from burning incense with size of 0.08μm – 0.04μm supposedly would have cytotoxicity on respiratory system. The inflammatory response of A-549 cell-line to particles treated with different experiemental trials was observed. The experimental trials, designed by the Taguchi’s method, involve the parameters of brands of incense, particle size, time of heating particles as surrogate of chemicals embedded on particles, and concentration of particles. Interleukin-8 as endpoint of cellular inflammation was analyzed by ELISA.
As results, the inflammatory response significantly associated with the brand of incense as well as the particle size. The smaller particles would cause the more sever inflammatory response of the A-549 cell-line
