Women’s Health, one of the world’s most popular lifestyle & fitness magazines, just published a feature-length article on the science supporting the safety of scented candles.

The author interviewed several leading respiratory and olfactory scientists, including Nikaeta Sadekar, PhD, a Senior Scientist at the Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) who leads Respiratory Safety for the institute.

Monell Chemical Senses Center Principal Investigator Pamela Dalton, PhD, MPH, the featured speaker at RIFM’s 56th Annual Meeting earlier this month, was also interviewed for the article.

Read the full article here. This is the second major media story on scented candles featuring Drs. Sadekar and Dalton. Congratulations, and thank you both for your tireless efforts to help mainstream the message of fragrance safety!
