INDOOR AIR SCIENCE
Cooking pollution

We think of home cooking as a good thing — comforting and nutritious. But some aspects of cooking can be dangerous to you and your family.

The simple act of cooking can:
• Transfer toxic metals from cooking utensils and pans to food and air
• Turn natural proteins, carbohydrates, and fats into harmful chemicals such as free radicals, carcinogenic hydrocarbons, and genetic mutants

When you inhale a toxin, it enters your bloodstream and can accumulate over time. Among the greatest health risks are toxins created by some cooking utensils and nonstick cookware. Cooking with oils (especially at high temperatures) can also pose threats to human health.

You can greatly improve your and your family’s indoor air quality by installing the RecoupAerator®, which expels toxins and replaces them with fresh air. The RecoupAerator is your top choice in home ventilation systems and energy recovery ventilators (ERVs). Think of the RecoupAerator® as a health insurance policy!
