No more scented candles at IONICON 🚫🕯️ 📖 Read the full study from Purdue University to learn more about the impact of chemical products on indoor air quality. ⬇️

Researchers show that fragranced products (like flameless, smoke-free candles) actively alter indoor air chemistry, leading to the formation of nanoparticles at concentrations that could have significant health implications newatlas.com/environment/in…

Wax warmers fill the air with tiny particles small enough to get deep into your lungs, according to research by @PurdueCCE's @NusratJung and @BrandonBoor. More about the research happening in the tiny house lab outside of Hampton Hall: bit.ly/40Z56kt

A new study in ES&T Letters finds scented wax melts trigger indoor new particle formation events through terpene ozonolysis, producing atmospheric nanoparticles at levels comparable to combustion-based candles: go.acs.org/ci8 @BrandonBoor @NusratJung @SatyaSundarPa17

The latest edition of the LSCCE Engineering's Spring IMPACT Magazine is now online. Highlights include research on earthquake resilience, a new rapid screening method for volatile spills, and advancements in 3-D printed homes. Read it here🔗bit.ly/cce-spring25

Air fresheners, wax melts, floor cleaners and other scented chemical products may be polluting the air in your home, say studies by Purdue engineers. purdue.university/4k8v9ia
