It feels strange to start a thread about incense as being a possible health issue, and given how infrequently most people are exposed to it then it's probably not an issue for most. But there is some evidence pointing to the harm of it:

Clearly, there needs to be greater awareness and management of the health risks associated with burning incense in indoor environments.
