the TOXICITY of conventional candles ☠☠ In closed rooms, scented candles and air fresheners might lead to the build up of toxic, cancer-causing substances. Though these substances may be giving a pleasing scent, they may lead to harmful substances causing cancer, according to research for the BBC series "Trust Me, I'm a Doctor." Working with Alastair Lewis from the National Centre for Atmospheric Science, the team examined six houses in York, England. They placed samplers in every house to find out which chemicals are polluting the air. For five days in November, when they closed all their doors and windows due to the cold, the residents of the six houses were asked to note the products they used. At the end of the study, researchers found that limonene, a chemical that gives a citrus smell to scented candles, air fresheners and similar products, was present most in the atmosphere. While it is not harmful by itself, it reacts with ozone in the air to create formaldehyde, which is associated with certain types of cancer, such as leukemia and nasopharyngeal cancer. It is a "known human carcinogen" too, according to The National Toxicology Program of the Department of Health and Human Services, reports the National Cancer Institute [1]
