Mosquito fogging health hazard?
My apartment with not good ventilation has been doing mosquito fogging every week once inside the  common areas and I feel breathing effort  difference next day as some fog gets inside through door gaps.. How safe is mosquito fogging on regular basis?are there scientufic proof for the fogging effectiveness and health impacts? Which govt agency to contact to get this stopped if some others feel this is protective for them?what guidelines exist in this regards from health department? What precautions to be taken? What advisory reference can be available on this? Is this fogging  not more a cheap  psychological solution practiced by agencies? What are recommendations your  on using mosquito fogging in less ventilated inside apartment on regular at basis?

This is more a community question than a clinical question. For People with preexisting respiratory problems fogging worsens it. But you being in a apartment community where everyone health should be considered instead of single person.
Next Steps
More than fogging antilarval measures like clearing of stagnant water in artificial containers like cups , tyres, etc. better keep your home doors and windows closed for atleast 1 hour during fogging . ( prevention is better than cure)
