Research from Purdue University reveals that common household products like air fresheners, wax melts, and diffusers can significantly contribute to indoor air pollution. These products emit volatile organic compounds that react with indoor air, forming harmful nanoparticles—smaller than those found in outdoor pollution. The study conducted in a unique lab setting highlights the potential health risks associated with breathing in these particles, which can affect respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological systems more severely than previously understood. The research calls for greater awareness of the pollutants created by seemingly harmless scented products.
Though you might burn some wax melts or use an essential oil diffuser as a way to mimic the fresh, clean air of a forest...it's actually those fragrances that cause pollution.
Researchers at Purdue University have been studying how everyday products create air pollution inside our homes in a lab that resembles a tiny house.
