Other common types of flame retardents are organohalogen compounds and organophosphorus compounds.

Why can you hold your fingers beside the candle flame without being harmful but not above the flame?

Beside the flame the heat you experience is that heat being radiated as light - if you hold your finger too close or leave it too long, you will get harmed! Beside the flame the air is cool as cool air is being sucked into the flame. However above the flame the hot gases produced by the combustion of the wax in the flame are rising upward by convection. These hot gasses will heat you skin by conduction and you will be burned very quickly.

Cedar doesn't rot because it is water resistant and if it isn't sealed it will last you pretty long. It can last up to 8 years if not sealed *After "8 years" then what? Cedar rots like any other wood if you wait long enough.
