Cooking fumes as a hygienic problem in the food and catering industries / Sinikka Vainiotado, Katri Matveinen

Sumario: There are limited data on the emission of cooking fumes into work atmospheres although it is known that these fumes may contain irritants or other harmful substances. Field measurements were carried out at eight workplaces (two bakeries, a food factory, and five restaurant kitchens). This paper confirmed that cooking fumes contain hazardous compounds. It also indicated that workers may be exposed to relatively high concentrations of airborne impurities
