Previous studies have shown that indoor air pollutants can increase the risk of several diseases.
“People spend, on average, more than 80% of their time indoors, and cooking air is a major contributor to indoor air pollution,” the researchers wrote in their study.
‘Exposure to indoor pollutants can cause a variety of health problems including acute symptoms and chronic diseases, such as heart failure; heart attack; cerebrovascular disease; neurodegenerative diseases; lung diseases including emphysema and bronchitis; pain in the respiratory system and eyes; respiratory diseases and asthma; and the number of threats of cancer and death, especially among vulnerable people.’
