Harm of cooking fume

1. Damage to skin

There is not only oil but also smoke in cooking fume. Oil is easy to adsorb on the face, and then adsorb smoke and dust, which has blocked the skin for a long time.

2. Harm to eyes

The oil fume is very irritating to eyes, especially for people with dry eyes. When they are washed by the oil fume, their eyes are easily fatigued, but they are painful and congested, and they can't stop crying. I wish I could close my eyes and cook.

3. Injury to the throat

Especially for people with pharyngitis, it is easy to keep coughing after coming out of the kitchen, and the fumes are breathed into the throat, which will make the throat more dry and itchy and painful, just like catching a bad cold.

4. Injury to lung

It is reported that among the patients with lung cancer, besides smoking, men account for a certain proportion, and a large proportion are housewives who work in the kitchen day by day with oil fumes. Long-term breathing in a high-concentration lampblack environment will cause symptoms such as choking, chest tightness and shortness of breath, which will cause irreversible damage to the lungs of these people.

5. Damage of lipid peroxidation

Investigation on the occupational population exposed to cooking oil fume showed that the plasma lipid peroxide (LPO) content increased, while the plasma VitC, erythrocyte SOD activity and blood glutathione content were significantly lower than those without exposure. It shows that cooking oil fume can not only cause lipid peroxidation in vivo, but also reduce antioxidant substances, enzymes and activities.

6. People's exposure to oil fume and tumor

At present, there is no direct evidence that human exposure to oil fume causes cancer. However, some epidemiological investigation results show that oil fume is a suspicious factor of nasopharyngeal carcinoma and lung cancer. Case-control studies in Canada, Britain, the United States and Denmark show that chefs in catering industry are at greater risk of lung cancer, nasopharyngeal cancer and esophageal cancer.

7. Damage to the environment

The most common description of the kitchen is "malodorous smoke". There are always heavy smoke, which can't be seen by the eyes, and the breathing is not smooth. No matter how you stay, you are uncomfortable. Opening the window to ventilate is also to disperse these smoke into the outside atmosphere, which makes the surrounding residents miserable.
