EPA and paraffin candles

Recent testing by the EPA has confirmed that paraffin contains at least 20 or more dangerous chemicals . Now you know why. We are burning the equivalent of diesel fuel in our homes when we light a candle. When you burn a candle you are releasing these dangerous chemicals into the air in your home, in fact The American Lung Association also warns that burning paraffin candles can emit toxins into your home's air, yes, the air you and your children and even your pets are breathing can be harmful to your health.

Just take a good look at the containers that you are burning your paraffin candles in , aren't they covered in black soot ? How about the walls and ceilings near these candles ? What do they look like ? Now imagine what your lungs look like if you could see them...

If you are burning several paraffin candles at the same time you could be creating air pollution in your home similar to the air quality of some of our major cities..

Trichlorofluoromethane ,which is one ingredient in some paraffin candles, is thought by some scientists to be destroying the ozone layer of our planet!

Now don't think you have to stop burning candles, you just have to stop burning paraffin candles. We do have a healthy alternative, all natural NVSOY Candles. NVSOY is produced by our own American farmers, as opposed to the petroleum waste products used in soy, that is produced by foreign oil companies. So Soy candles are not only good for you, and the environment they are also good for our economy as well.
