Cooking is one of the most important sources of airborne pollutants in the indoor environments of residential buildings. Elevated concentrations of NO2 due to cooking have been reported widely (Garret et al. 1998; Garrett et al. 1999; Mullen et al. 2016; Ryan et al. 1988; Schwab et al. 1994; J. Spengler et al. 1994; J. D. Spengler et al. 1983; Wilson et al. 1995). Many researchers have attributed elevated particulate concentrations to cooking, and some have attributed extremely high short-term concentrations of fine particles (>300 μg/m3) and ultrafine particles (>105 μg/m3) to cooking events (Abdullahi et al. 2013; Abt et al. 2000; Afshari et al. 2005; Buonanno et al. 2009; He et al. 2004; Kearney et al. 2011; Lance A. Wallace et al. 2004; See and Balasubramanian 2008; Stieb et al. 2008; Wallace and Ott 2011; Wheeler et al. 2011; Zhang et al. 2010). Cooking is also a source of other gas-phase pollutants including carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, acrolein, and other volatile organic compounds (Garret et al. 1998; Garrett et al. 1999; Logue et al. 2013; Mullen et al. 2016; Ryan et al. 1988; Schwab et al. 1994; J. Spengler et al. 1994; J. D. Spengler et al. 1983; V. Seaman et al. 2007; Wilson et al. 1995). Lastly, cooking can be a significant source of water vapor, and the water vapor produced from cooking can eventually lead to moisture-related problems (Parrott and Emmel 2003)
