Some Facts everyone should know about candles
Paraffin is a by-product of the petroleum refinery industry, leftover residue of refined petroleum.
Soot given off from burning paraffin candles is the same as burning diesel fuel or fumes from a diesel engine.
Soot particles travel deep into the lungs. Breathing soot is not recommended at all!
Tests show that paraffin candles can produce a variety of harmful substances, including benzene & toluene, known carcinogens.
Testing by the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) has found over 20 dangerous compounds in SIGNIFICANT quantities including acetone, benzene, toluene and lead.
The soot from these materials can contain carcinogens, neurotoxins and reproductive toxins.
The American Lung Association says, "Burning paraffin candles can emit small amounts of toxins into the air."
