Home fragrances (candles, incense, diffusers, room sprays) are increasingly scrutinized for VOC emissions and potential impacts on indoor air quality.

It highlights why emissions vary widely across product types, formulations, and usage conditions (combustion, ventilation, duration), and connects the risk assessment approach to EU Regulation 2023/988 on general product safety.
