A candle (C25H52) is a solid block of wax with an embedded wick‚ which is lit to provide light‚ and sometimes heat‚ and historically as a method of keeping time. Candles have appeared as a source of fine and ultrafine particles in indoor air (e.g. Hussein et al. 2006). Fine et al. (1999)‚ found high Organic Carbon (OC) emissions connected to the extinction of the candle and high EC concentrations when the flame was burning unsteady. In the mid 1800s there were two major developments in the

thin smoke rising up. The wick is hot enough to vaporize the wax but not hot enough to re-ignite it. In trick candles however‚ they add an ingredient that ignites at a lower temperature then the paraffin wax. This ingredient is usually a pyrophoric metal(metals which ignite at extremely low temperatures). MAGNESIUM is the most commonly used pyrophoric metal in trick candles‚ with the magnesium flakes embedded in the wicks. When you blow out the candle‚ the wick that remains is hot enough to

In order to get the wick ready‚ dip it a few times into the wax to provide an equal surface for smoother burning later on. Then the wick must be affixed to a small piece of wood or a pencil that will lie across the top of the candle mold. Ensure that the wick is taut by tying one end to the wooden piece and taping the other end down to the bottom of the mold. It
