Residential cooking-related PM_2.5: Spatial-temporal variations under various intervention scenarios.

ABSTRACT: Some cooking events can generate high levels of hazardous PM_2.5. This study assesses the dispersion of cooking-related PM_2.5 throughout a naturally-ventilated apartment in the US, examines the dynamic process of cooking-related emissions, and demonstrates the impact of different indoor PM_2.5 mitigating strategies. We conducted experiments with a standardized pan-frying cooking procedure under seven scenarios, involving opening kitchen windows, using a range hood, and utilizing a portable air cleaner (PAC) in various indoor locations. Real-time PM_2.5 concentrations were measured in the open kitchen, living room, bedroom (door closed), and outdoor environments. Decay-related parameters were estimated, and time-resolved PM_2.5 emission rat
