Candles have been in use for thousands of years. For the past one hundred years, the primary source of candle light was paraffin wax, a leftover residue of petroleum refining. Behind the bright glow of a petroleum candle was a dark problem: burning paraffin created toxic soot deposits in the home environment. The harmful effects of this indoor air pollution are just now being understood.
