ABSTRACT

There has been a growing concern in relation to air fresheners, candles, incense and essential oils to burn, since studies conclude that the majority of incense and essential oils emit toxic or harmful compounds to health. Studies show the usual practice of burning of three sticks of incense, twice a day, is susceptible to affect the health of an individual exposed (DECO, 2013; Ess, 2010; Perera S., 2012). The aim of the present study was to evaluate the IAQ, in particular, VOC’s, CO2, CO and CH2O in 4 of beauty that use air fresheners.
