We often overlook the very idea of Indoor Air quality, even though we spend a maximum of our time indoors. There are several appliances that we have in our homes that can impact our indoor AQI. One of the factors that affect our indoor AQI is the Kitchen habits and appliances that we use.
This blog delves deep into the lesser-known impact of our kitchen habits that can affect our Indoor Air Quality and how integrating uBreathe Air Purifiers can help deal with the problem of bad indoor air quality.
Causes of Bad Indoor Air Quality in the Kitchen
Poor Ventilation: Inadequate ventilation allows cooking fumes, smoke, and steam to accumulate, increasing pollutant concentration. Using exhaust fans is highly advisable to improve ventilation.
Using Nonstick Cookware at High Temperatures: Overheating nonstick cookware can release harmful chemicals, such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), into the air. Avoid cooking at high temperatures with nonstick pans and opt for alternative cookware materials.
Lack of Regular Cleaning: Accumulation of grease, food particles, and spills can harbor bacteria and mold, releasing spores and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Regular cleaning of kitchen surfaces, appliances, and floors is essential to prevent buildup.
Using Scented Cleaners and Air Fresheners: Many scented cleaners and air fresheners contain VOCs that degrade indoor air quality. Use unscented, natural, or eco-friendly cleaning products and freshen the air with natural ventilation instead.
Open Kitchens: While aesthetically appealing and socially functional, open kitchens can degrade indoor air quality. Cooking fumes, including smoke, grease, and steam, can spread more easily throughout the home without barriers to contain them.
