“…On the other hand, as coal powder whose function is to facilitate the smoother burning is an ingredient for the manufacturing of incense sticks, incense can leave a gray to an earthen color leftover called incense sticks ash when it is lighted. 3 , 16 , 20 The complete combustion of an incense stick can produce the ash up to one-tenth of its weight. 10 Importantly, the analysis of incense sticks ash has revealed the presence of many toxic heavy metals as well as oxides including calcium oxides, silica, alumina, ferrous, potassium oxide, phosphorus oxide, magnesium oxide, and oxides of trace elements.…”

“…16 As this major constituent is composed of organic matters, incense typically gets volatilized during its combustion. 20 In fact, a wide range of toxic organic compounds has been identified in the incense smoke, among which carbonyls, volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been commonly reported. The emissions of carbonyls from the burning of ten different incense types in a large environmental test chamber detected a total of eight carbonyl compounds, predominantly aldehydes.…”

Incense burning is a very popular activity in daily life among many parts all over the world. A growing body of both epidemiological and experimental evidences has reported the negative effects of incense use on human well-being, posing a potential threat at public significance. This work is a comprehensive review that covers the latest findings regarding the adverse impact of incense smoke on our health, providing a panoramic visualization ranging from mechanisms to implications. The toxicities of incense smoke come directly from its harmful constituents and deposition capacity in the body. Besides, reactive oxygen species-driven oxidative stress and associated inflammation seem to be plausible underlying mechanisms, eliciting various unfavorable responses. Although our current knowledge remains many gaps, this issue still has some important implications.

“…In a country like India, incense sticks ash is considered sacred and disposed of in rivers. Indian incense sticks ash has high Ca, Mg, Fe Si and Al, out of which Ca and Mg alone constitute 50-55% of the total weight of ISA [61]. These two elements are also responsible for the hardening of the river water, therefore, instead of disposing of these ashes into the river, it could be used for the recovery of valuable minerals.…”

The traditional hydrothermal synthesis methods are mainly performed under batch operation, which generally takes few days to weeks to yield a zeolite with the desired properties and structure. The zeolites are the backbone of the petrochemical and wastewater industries due to their importance. The commercial methods for zeolite synthesis are expensive, laborious and energy intensive. Among waste products, incense sticks ash is a compound of aluminosilicates and could act as a potential candidate for the synthesis of zeolites for daily needs in these industries. Incense sticks ash is the byproduct of religious places and houses and is rich in Ca, Mg, Al and Si. As a result, incense sticks ash can be proven to be a potential candidate for the formation of calcium-rich zeolites. The formation of zeolites from incense sticks ash is an economical, reliable and eco-friendly method. The application of incense sticks ash for zeolite synthesis can also minimize the problem related to its disposal in the water bodies, which will also minimize the solid waste in countries where it is considered sacred and generated in tons every day.

“…The nanomaterial synthesized from the commercial precursor materials makes the product as well as process expensive. Moreover, the source of nanomaterial is also depleting, so there is a need to rely on the natural and alternative sources of nanomaterial [14]. The natural nanomaterial [15] act as a potential candidate for the development of nanomaterials.…”

Today is the era of nanoscience and nanotechnology, which find applications in the field of medicine, electronics, and environmental remediation. Even though nanotechnology is in its emerging phase, it continues to provide solutions to numerous challenges. Nanotechnology and nanoparticles are found to be very effective because of their unique chemical and physical properties and high surface area, but their high cost is one of the major hurdles to its wider application. So, the synthesis of nanomaterials, especially 2D nanomaterials from industrial, agricultural, and other biological activities, could provide a cost-effective technique. The nanomaterials synthesized from such waste not only minimize pollution, but also provide an eco-friendly approach towards the utilization of the waste. In the present review work, emphasis has been given to the types of nanomaterials, different methods for the synthesis of 2D nanomaterials from the waste generated from industries, agriculture, and their application in electronics, medicine, and catalysis.
