Burning candles and your health Scientists have recently examined whether burning candles can be a source of indoor air pollution. They've found a couple of important things.
First. - They've determined that some candles on the market, mostly those that are imported, still contain lead in the wick as a stiffening agent. Most U.S. candle manufacturers stopped using lead in candles in 1974. Research shows that burning lead-wick candles can cause exposure to harmful amount of lead.
Second. - They've determined that burning several candles at once can cause exposure to other harmful chemicals, including some known human carcinogens. One study that compared different types of candles found greater exposure to harmful chemicals with paraffin candles and less exposure with candles made of beeswax or soy.
