Usually people use scented candles, air sprays, reed diffusers and many other such components. But they not only spread a good scent in your house but a lot of harmful chemicals as well. According to the research, air fresheners and plug-in used by 75% of Americans contain phthalates, a very dangerous chemical.

Similarly, when the wax of the candle is burned it produces harmful chemicals such as toluene and benzene which makes your room poorly ventilated, dangerous for your children and pets.
