Citronella candles are almost entirely naturally composed and do nothing to harm the environment. The most worrying part of the citronella candles would be the Aldehydes and Alcohol content, but even these are miniscule in proportion. If they were to pose any sort of threat to the environment you would probably have to burn about 500,000 tonnes of it at once, and then it still would not be as harmful as a four hour aeroplane flight, in terms of burning jet-fuel (kerosene).
