Why does kitchen oil fumes harm health?

We inhale the same oil fumes as the range hood. Why do oil fumes damage the lungs? The oil fumes pass through the nose before reaching the range hood. Inhaling the same oil fumes makes the lungs as greasy as the range hood. High-temperature oil fumes contain "polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon" particles, which, when inhaled over the long term, pose a health hazard.

Why is the air quality of kitchen oil fumes "purple explosion"?

The oil fumes produced by the mixture of high-temperature oil and water contain a large amount of greasy aerosol particles, dispersing in the air. Cooking breakfast with fried eggs and bacon results in a "purple explosion" in air quality.

Why does water boiling also produce oil fumes?

Oil floats on the water surface, and when it boils, it evaporates into aerosol particles in the form of steam. Boiling water also produces oil fumes, albeit in smaller quantities. After a hot pot meal, the scent on your body is from the oil fume particles evaporated by the broth.

Why should you wear a mask when cooking?

Oil fumes, like secondhand smoke, pose health risks. Prolonged exposure to oil fumes can induce bodily changes and illness. If you fall ill, not only do you suffer, but you also burden your family with the responsibility of care.

What kind of mask should you wear to protect against oil fumes?
