Investigatory Project (Mosquito Repellent)
I. Abstract
Marketed mosquito repellents today use harmful chemicals to mankind and to the environment. As we all know today, the environment is now in great danger because of our carelessness. We don’t want to cause too much failure to our environment because of these deadly chemicals that are used. Based on my research mint leaves, calamansi extract and chili are useful to make mosquito repellents by not adding harmful and deadly chemicals that caused the environment to weaken. As a concerned individual of our community, I widened my knowledge about this and confirm if it can be used for the public.
II. Statement of Goals and Objectives
1. To be able to test the efficacy of mint, calamansi and chili as a repellent. 2. To be able to compare the use of the mint, calamansi and chili repellent to not using any repellent at all. 3. To be able to know the repellent’s value to the environment.
III. Methodology A. Materials 1. Mint leaves 2. Calamansi extract 3. Rubbing alcohol 4. Chili 5. Spray bottle 6. Strainer 7. 1cup of water 8. Small pot B. Procedures First, prepare all the materials on the working table. Then, place 1 cup of water into the pot and boil the mint leaves along with the calamansi extract. Allow it to sit overnight. After that, strain the fluid and pour a small amount of alcohol o the mixture. Next, cut the chili into smaller pieces and add it to the mixture. Finally, pour the liquid into a spray bottle.
IV. Results and Discussion A. Findings SET UP | EFFICIENCY | PRICE | VALUE TO THE ENVIRONMENT | NO. OF DAYS TO MAKE THE REPELLENTS | Commercial Mosquito Repellent | More efficient | High Priced | Destructive | Months | Repellent Using Mint Leaves, Calamansi Extract and Chili | Efficient | Low Priced | Helpful | 2-3 Days |
B. Analysis of Data
From the given data above, the repellent using mint leaves, calamansi extract and chili is efficient, low priced,
