Measurement of Ultrafine Particles and Other Air Pollutants Emitted by Cooking Activities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cooking emissions show a strong dependence on cooking styles and parameters. Measurements of the average ultrafine particle (UFP) concentration, PM(2.5) and black carbon concentrations emitted by cooking activities ranged from 1.34 x 10(4) to 6.04 x 10(5) particles/cm(3), 10.0 to 230.9 microg/m(3) and 0.1 to 0.8 microg/m(3), respectively. Lower UFP concentrations were observed during boiling, while higher levels were emitted during frying. The highest UFP concentrations were observed when using a gas stove at high temperature with the kitchen exhaust fan turned off. The observed UFP profiles were similar in the kitchen and in another room, with a lag of approximately 10 min.

Evaluation of cooking emitted particulate matter concentration and workers cancer risk assessment in the sari fast-food shops
Introduction: One of the harmful pollutants in the indoor environments is particulate matters. Particles smaller than 2.5 micrometer in diameter that are suspend in the industrial environments air are the most deleterious dusts which can cause lung disease and cancer. In present study PM2.5 concentration in the fast-food shops air and its cancer risk for shop workers were assessed. Material ...
متن کاملPhysical Characteristics of Ultrafine Particles Emitted from Different Gas Cooking Methods
Gas cooking is a significant source of airborne particles indoors. In order to assess health risk due to exposure from indoor particulate air pollution and to identify effective control strategies, data on size-differentiated aerosol particles released from different cooking methods are critically needed. In this study, controlled experiments were carried out in a domestic kitchen using a scann...

Data from exposure of experimental animals and human subjects to sulfuric acid presents a consistent picture of its toxicology. Effects on airway resistance in asthmatic subjects were well predicted by data obtained on guinea pigs. Sulfuric acid increases the irritant response to ozone in both rats and man. In donkeys, rabbits, and human subjects, sulfuric acid alters clearance of particles fro...

Ambient air pollutants are one of the most harmful environmental stressors to human health. During the last decades, different ambient particulate and gaseous pollutants have been studied, and in numerous studies fine particles (< 2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter, PM2.5) and larger, inhalable particles (< 10 μm, PM10) have been associated with excess morbidity and mortality. Particle size and com...
متن کاملParticulate Air Pollutants and Respiratory Diseases
Air pollution is composed of a mixture of toxins, consisting of particles and gases emitted in large quantities from many different combustion sources, including cars and industries. A variety of anthropogenic and natural particle sources are present in ambient air. Throughout the past decade, the composition of air pollution has changed in developed countries from classical type 1 pollution, c...
