1) The document describes an investigatory project that aims to create a natural mosquito coil using oregano as the main ingredient. 2) Recent studies have shown that commercial mosquito coils release chemicals like formaldehyde that can harm health, especially for asthmatics. 3) The project aims to develop a mosquito repellent using dried oregano leaves and extract that does not pose health risks but still effectively repels mosquitoes.

Investigatory Project (Natural Mosquito Repellent) Abstract Mosquito repellents are essentially required these days. Mosquito coils are one of the cheapest and effective way of avoiding them, but this coils are made up of chemicals which can harm our health.We thought about making a substitute mosquito coil that is not harmful to our health and a natural and environmental friendly coil.We study about the different environmental/herbal plants to test if herbal plants could give the same quality of commercial mosquito repellents.After studying several herbal plants,we noticed that the extract of Oregano can kill mosquitoes and other harmful insects. Introduction Background of the Study: We chose this project because a mosquito coil made up from natural mosquito repelling plants will remove the health problems caused by commercial mosquito repellents.Oregano is easy to find and also if this project succeed this can be profitable for business and can encourage others to make this product. Statement of the problem: Recent studies showed that the smoke generated from burning mosquito coil is of certain health concerns– a person being exposed to the smoke coming from the coil may suffer severe head ache, nausea and vomiting, the condition will be severe among asthmatic patients. The emission of formaldehyde from one burning coil can be as high as that released from 51 burning cigarettes. This is because of the chemicals found in mosquito coils. Making a mosquito coil out of natural ingredients may remove these problems. Objectives: Have an alternative solution to prevent the different kind of diseases that mosquito brings especially dengue fever and not cause another problem. Make use of the natural
resources of our country to solve common problems caused by mosquitoes, especially dengue. Significance of the Study: The importance of our project is that we’ll be able to make a mosquito coil that is not harmful to our health and to kill mosquitoes that are vector-carriers of dengue. Scope and Delimitation: This project tackles on making a mosquito coil that is made up of natural ingredients that is not harmful to human health. Our project also tackles the protection of human beings against mosquito bites that cause diseases. Review of Related Literature: Mosquito coil is a Mosquito-repelling incense, it is usually shaped spiral. The coil is usually held at the center of the spiral, suspending it in the air, or wedged by two pieces of fireproof nettings to allow continuous smouldering. Burning usually begins at the outer end of the spiral and progresses slowly toward the centre of the spiral, producing a mosquito-repellent smoke. A typical mosquito coil can measure around 15 cm in diameter. Oregano is a medicinal herb known for its antioxidant and anti-microbial, anti-parasitic properties. It is used for the treatment of indigestion problems, muscle pain, insect bites, and menstruation symptoms, bacterial and fungal infections. Dried leaves of oregano are commonly used for the therapeutic purposes it contains iron, vitamins, calcium, magnesium, copper, niacin and thiamine.
Oregano plant has been used for the treatment of various diseases since thousands of years back. Medical researches reveal that oregano contains antioxidants,anti-microbial and anti-parasitic compounds. Considering these medicinal properties, the studies are ongoing to use oregano for the treatment of severe diseases such as cancer, heart disease and muscular degeneration. An antioxidant nature of oregano is evident from the presence of thymol and rosmarinic acid. These compounds help in scavenging free radicals, thus preventing cell damage and membrane alteration. The amount of antioxidant present in a tablespoon of fresh oregano and a medium-sized apple are the same. The volatile oil carvacrol present in oregano inhibits the growth of bacteria and other parasitic organisms. Some studies found this medicinal herb to be more effective in killing Giardia than the prescription drugs. Oregano supplements are also used for external and internal fungal infections. Herbal tea prepared with oregano helps in alleviation of headache, urinary problems, lung disorders, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and jaundice. Oregano boiled in plain water can be used as a mouthwash. Gargling with this water can help to prevent tooth infection and sore throat. Oregano oil applied directly to the infected tooth helps in combating toothache. Ground oregano leaves soothe artthrisis pain, insect bites and other skin problems. Its bitter taste and strong aroma help in controlling head lice. Methodology: Ingredients we need: Dried Oregano Bowl Oregano Extract Charcoal Gum Arabic / Gum powder
Hot Water Mortar and Pestle Procedures: 1. Sundry the oregano for 1-2day/s. 2. After you sundry the oregano, pulverize it using a mortar and pestle. 3. Mix 20 grams of gum, 4 spoons of crushed charcoal, and 10 spoons of crushed dried oregano, then add the oregano extract and add hot water to make paste like consistency and then mix thoroughly in a bowl. 4. Mold the mixed ingredients like a spiral shape then let it dry for a few days. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: First of all,we would like to thank OUR ALMIGHTY GOD for giving us the strength,determination and energy to finish our Science Investigatory Project.Then of course to our Families,that gave their physical and financial support and to our Teacher Mrs.Menchie E.Rado for helping us to commemorate on the right things to do in an IP and to all who helped us during the investigation and making of our Science Investigatory Project.
