Worship the Darkness
AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - A visit to church may be good for the soul but not so good for the lungs, a new study shows.
Scientists from Maastricht University found that burning candles and incense in church can release dangerous levels of potentially carcinogenic particles, according to research published this week in the European Respiratory Journal.
"After a day of candle burning we found about 20 times as much as by a busy road," Theo de Kok, the author of the study, told Reuters.
"These levels were so unbelievably high we thought we should report it to the public."
