Highlights
- • Deep-frying emits particulate matter (PM) with high mass concentrations.
- • The size and shape of PM emitted is influenced by the type of cooking in kitchens.
- • The high emission of PM<0.25 (PM with diameter ≤ 250 nm) is of health concern.
- • The use of an air cleaner decreases the respiratory deposition doses of PM<0.25.
- • The air cleaner also reduces the abundance of PM-bound toxic elements.
