Air fresheners, candles and incense smell SO good – but they’re SO bad for some people...




If someone in your house has allergies or asthma – skip the scented stuff... 

Stanley Fineman, president of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, says patients who stop using scented candles and air fresheners usually notice an immediate improvement in their symptoms. 

When we burn or spray those soothing fragrances, we’re also polluting our air with volatile organic compounds, soot and phthalates which are also linked to cancer and reproductive problems.
