??? Wax Melts May Be Worse for Indoor Air Quality Than Candles, Study Finds ??? A new Purdue University study reveals that scented wax melts release more air pollutants than candles—with emissions comparable to gas stoves and diesel engines. ?? ?? Key Findings: ? Scented wax melts release high levels of nanoparticles & VOCs, which can cause lung inflammation & cardiovascular issues ? Poor ventilation increases exposure to these pollutants ? Unscented wax melts did not produce harmful emissions ? Experts recommend air purifiers, ventilation, & fragrance-free alternatives With growing concerns over indoor air pollution, experts stress that all scented products—candles, diffusers, cleaners—can release harmful chemicals. If you have asthma or respiratory sensitivities, limiting use in small or poorly ventilated spaces is advised. ??
