toxicology of paraffin wax

Paraffin is the common name for a group of high molecular weight alkane hydrocarbons produced by the distillation of crude oil. Non-food grade paraffin wax commonly used in the production of other candles often contains oils and impurities which may be toxic or harmful.

workplace exposure limits to the fumes of burning paraffin wax

Paraffin oil (kerosene) and the solid form paraffin wax are petrochemical fuels and the 'exhaust' from a paraffin candle has been examined by the australian government's national occupational health and safety commission (NOHSC). The NOHSC recommends workplace exposure limits of 2 milligrams of paraffin fume per square metre, over an eight-hour period.
