#greenscreenvideo Candles: 5 reasons to not burn candles: 1. Sources of air pollutants. 2. Emit pollutants even when unlit 3. They usually contain fragrance chemicals like carcinogens, allergens, and endocrine disruptors. 4. Some dyes used to color candles are carcinogenic according to Health Canada. 5. Candles are largely unregulated aside from the types of glass containers required and fire safety precautions. There can still be petroleum-derived wax in them even if it's labeled as a soy or coconut blend. 💡If you want to create a scent in your home, try simmering spices in water on your stove instead of burning things! 🫁 Protecting your respiratory health is a must.
