I found out something new today- candles emit toxins and carcinogens into the air. This news was incredibly devastating to me since I LOVE to burn candles, especially my caramel smelling ones. I recently just bought new tea lights too so that I could continue my burning bliss. I knew I had a lot of toxins to get rid of in my house but I guess I didn't expect candles to be one of them. Luckily there are toxic-free alternatives that I will be purchasing in the near future.
Here are a couple articles that explain the toxins in candles:
