He did not mean the coal and wood smoke that hung over the poison which causes death is not a gas.

Soot, who was watching the performance, became much disturbed and left his branch and hopped about restlessly because he could not do them too.

Not all the carbon in the candle gets converted to CO2, so leftover carbon atoms come together and form tiny particles of soot, which heat up and glow orange and yellow like the hot coals under a grill.

不是所有里碳都会变成二氧化碳，而残余碳原子会聚在一起形成细小煤粒子，它们加热后便产生橘黄色光芒，就像烤炉中热炭。

Sure, there have been some attempts to stop, even as far back as 1306, when complaints about the increasing stench of coal smoke in London led the King of England to ban coal in the city.
