Automatic air freshener

[sarahh96]

Thinking about buying one of these but no idea which one.
It's going in a large room so, does anyone have one and could recommend and, would one suffice in a largish room, or are they really for smaller enclosed spaces.?
Haven't got a huge budget (am tempted by the White Company one) but can't warrant the cost.
Any thoughts?

Air fresheners emit more than 100 different chemicals, including volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These are airborne chemicals that include wide classes of organic compounds: terpenes such as limonene (lemon scent), alpha-pinene (the smell of pine trees), and beta-pinene; solvents such as ethanol, formaldehyde, benzene, toluene and xylene; and many other compounds.

These VOCs will react with ozone and other indoor oxidants to generate a range of oxidation products, which are potentially toxic molecules. The level of exposure and concentration determines the potential toxicity.

Fragrances and ozone can also generate pollutants such as formaldehyde, acetaldehyde and free radicals, all classified as toxic or hazardous by agencies such as the EPA. The type and amount of pollutants created by your home fragrance will depend on many factors, such as the type of product (does it burn or is it a vapour?), its composition (although ingredients aren’t always known), and the indoor air itself.

All air freshener types produce high emissions of volatile organic compounds in some settings. How scents are delivered into the space is reported to be less important for emissions than the composition of the scent in question. But, legally, the chemicals used in air fresheners do not have to be disclosed; studies have found vast variation in what gets disclosed on the label.

If you have pets, don't do it.

I used to have one in every room like a fool! My dps ashma got really bad, it wasnt until I removed them we realised how badly they had been affecting his breathing.

Cripes!! Thanks all, that's the end of that little investigation then.

Try a reed diffuser.....you can get some lovely smelling ones.

I bought an electric was warmer as candles are sooty and urgh you can get nice environmentally friendly wax melts. I mean, you can but I don't!
