I recently read an article on this subject and although it never occurred to me, I wasn't really surprised either. Have you ever been in a room with little to no ventilation and turned on a candle? After a while, a scent coming from the candle (not the nice, apple smell) starts to become more of a nuisance than pleasant. Could very well be these toxins that are now not only found to increase risk for cancer, asthma, and eczema.
Fortunately, most people use them in well ventilated areas. This is actually a great article when considering what kinds of candles should be purchased during Hurricane season (now!) when there is only the ventilation from the one working fan or no ventilation at all.
