Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

When burned, these incense sticks release benzene at levels of 30 µg/m³ during combustion and 21 µg/m³ after combustion, as well as toluene at 26 µg/m³ during combustion and 21 µg/m³ after combustion. Because the product is designed for use in closed indoor environments without ventilation, these chemical levels are considered harmful to health.
