They often have enticing names and appealing fragrances — like an ocean breeze, white cedar, and sweet jasmine. While wax melts, air fresheners, and other scented products may make your home smell inviting; two Purdue University researchers say you might be breathing in chemicals that could be harmful to your health.
Nusrat Jung and Brandon Boor say scented chemical products release particles into the air that are small enough to get deep into your lungs.

Jung and Boor hope their findings will improve how indoor air quality is monitored, controlled, and regulated.
