Many polymers burn with black fumes. Their molecules are very rich in carbon, and it's very difficult to give them enough oxygen to convert this to carbon dioxide, so small pieces of solid carbon (soot) are formed. These are so tiny they form a smoke. There will be lots of other chemicals in the smoke too, and it's best avoided.

Why do some candles burn down so quickly?
A candle will burn faster at room temp. Candels burn by means of the wick effect. The energy from the flam heats the wax beneath the wick ( by way of convection threw the wick and by luminescent radiation , causing it to melt then asend threw the wick, ( eventually having enough heat to evaporate buy the time it reaches the top of the wick) It then burns as a vapor when mixed with oxgene much like gasoline, the melting and vaporisation points vary depending on the type of wax used, but ultimitly the warmer the candel to begin with the faster it will burn.

Is styrofoam the same as polystyrene?
They are made from the same polymer, polystyrene. Usually polystyrene is clear, hard and rigid, for example in CD cases. However, styrofoam is created by blowing air through liquid polystyrene. The bubbles are locked in the polystyrene as it solidifies, giving the syrofoam used in packaging and cups. The reason it is compressible is because the air is compressed, rather than the hard, rigid polystyrene itself.
