Many people have switched from traditional candles to wax melts believing they're making a safer choice for their home environment. But a study published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters has revealed that scented wax melts release significant amounts of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particularly terpenes, into your indoor air. What makes this especially problematic is how these compounds interact with the ozone already present in your home. This reaction creates nanoparticles in concentrations comparable to what you might be exposed to from diesel engine emissions.
Think about that for a moment - the air in your living room while using a wax melt could contain particle pollution similar to standing near diesel exhaust. These aren't just any particles - they're nanoparticles small enough to bypass your body's natural filtration systems and pe*****te deep into your respiratory tract.
While wax melts eliminate the risks associated with open flames, they introduce a different set of potential health concerns through these invisible chemical emissions.
If you're looking for a different alternative, try essential oils.
