I just fried some chips and the pm2.5 levels in the kitchen spiked to 50 micrograms per cubic meter, from less than 4. Apparently this is a normal by-product of cooking. Inhalation of a lot of PM2.5 is devastating to human health and impacts child development.

Gotta love a good sensationalist tabloid claim. Then to top it off with another rubbish claim by the OP. What complete and utter nonsense. A roast dinner will give you depression... :rolleyes: (Actually, this can be true, depends on who's cooking your dinner)

It surely makes a difference what material the particle is made of rather than just the fact that there is a certain concentration of them in the air.

It's from scientific journals. Look up mental health issues among chefs.

I am sure the culture of bullying and aggressive speaking doesn’t help among chefs either .

Chefs might as well be sucking on a diesel exhaust.

And you used a gas hob, like it says in the article?

I used an air purifier because I was cutting tiles outside the door. Stopped cutting tiles and fried chips. Observed spike and googled. I observed this phenomenon independently in other words. Deep fat fryer with recently changed oil, fresh cut chips, air purifier on turbo, extractor fan on and window wide open.

The fact the article is sourced from journal articles should more than suffice unless you don't know what they are or are a conspiracy theorist, but there you go.

I had a chicken thigh, cheeseburger, curry chips, 2 battered sausages, and 8 garlic mushrooms from the chipper last night. Now I don’t know if it was that or the 14 pints of Guinness, but I can assure you that neither of them are making me feel particularly healthy today. I’m as dodgy as a ten bob handjob.

Must be looking for more funding for research! Let's not forget the question of reproducibility never mind the quality of the research.

I reproduced it independently in my kitchen right before I found that article.

OP what are you using to get the ppm of particles just out of interest?
