Residential Cooking Exposure Study

Final Report

Research scientists recently completed an ARB-funded study that showed very high levels of several pollutants in indoor air during different types of cooking activities. The levels measured for some cooking activities exceeded health-based standards and guidelines, and could pose a potential risk to home occupants, especially susceptible groups of the population such as young children and the elderly. This is the first comprehensive study of indoor air pollutant exposures from a wide variety of cooking activities in a home.
