Residential cooking and use of kitchen ventilation: The impact on exposure
Liu Sun, Lance Wallace
Abstract
: The inadequate use of ventilation during cooking highlights the need for educational programs on cooking exposures and ventilation strategies, such as running a range hood fan or opening kitchen windows when possible. Exposures in newly built homes might be a bigger concern than older homes if not providing sufficient ventilation during cooking, due to the tighter building envelopes.
