Are Candles a Health Risk? Exploring the Science Behind Emissions

Abstract:

Candles, especially paraffin-based ones, emit potentially harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) like toluene and benzene, which can affect air quality and health. While soy and beeswax candles are often marketed as safer, they too release VOCs. Experts recommend choosing high-quality, paraffin-free candles and burning them in well-ventilated spaces.
