The inhalation of cooking-generated aerosols could lead to translocation to the brain and impact its function; therefore, the effects of cooking-generated aerosols on healthy adults were investigated using an electroencephalograph (EEG) during the 2 h period post-exposure. To explore any changes from the impact of exposure to cooking-generated aerosols on the human brain due to the absence of food intake during exposure, we divided the study participants into three groups: (A) no food intake for 2 h (2 h-zero calorie intake), (B) non-zero calorie intake, and (C) control group (simulated cooking). The ultrafine particle concentrations increased from 9.

The effect of cooking aerosol on the human heart was investigated in this study. The heart rate and blood pressure of 33 healthy adults were monitored before, exactly after, and two hours post-exposure (30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes, and 120 minutes after cooking). One hundred twenty grams of ground beef was fried in sunflower oil for twenty minutes using a gas stove without ventilation.

Article Synopsis
  • - Indoor air in homes can contain harmful chemicals that negatively affect health, and surveys are needed to understand exposure levels and concerns regarding Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).
  • - This review analyzes 180 peer-reviewed articles from 2013 to 2021 to identify key factors influencing IAQ like building location, design, materials, occupant activities, and demographics.
  • - The significance of these building factors varies based on study goals and the pollutants in question, highlighting the need for detailed reporting in studies and addressing existing research gaps for future investigations.

Our knowledge of the effects of exposure to indoor ultrafine particles (sub-100 nm, #/cm ) on human brain activity is very limited. The effects of cooking ultrafine particles (UFP) on healthy adults were assessed using an electroencephalograph (EEGs) for brain response. Peak ultrafine particle concentrations were approximately 3 × 10 particle/cm and the average level was 1.

Cooking is a major source of indoor particulate matter (PM), especially ultrafine particles (UFPs). Long-term exposure to fine and ultrafine particles (UFPs) has been associated with adverse human health effects. Toxicological studies have demonstrated that exposure to PM (particles with aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.

Knowledge on the impact of the exposure to indoor ultrafine particles (UFPs) on the human brain is restricted. Twelve non-atopic, non-smoking, and healthy adults (10 female and 7 male, in average 22 years old) were monitored for brain physiological responses via electroencephalographs (EEGs) during cooking. Frying ground beef meat in sunflower oil using electric stove without ventilation was conducted.
