Candles Give You Cancer ![]() http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/h...211543.stm Candle use linked to cancer risk
Candle-lit dinners may be romantic, but researchers are warning they could be harmful to health. South Carolina State University experts analysed the fumes released by burning candles in lab tests. They found paraffin wax candles gave off harmful fumes linked to lung cancer and asthma - but admitted it would take many years' use to risk health. UK experts said smoking, obesity and alcohol were much more important in terms of cancer development. And even the researchers admitted occasional candle use was not something people should worry about too much. Lead researcher Amid Hamidi said people who frequently used candles, for instance to help them relax in the bath or provide the right ambience for dinner, were most at risk. He told the American Chemical Society in Washington: "An occasional paraffin candle and its emissions will not likely affect you. "But lighting many paraffin candles every day for years or lighting them frequently in an un-ventilated bathroom around a tub, for example, may cause problems." | |
