The diet of modern people tends to include more and more convenience foods such as fast food and takeaway. These foods contain a lot of fat, salt and additives, which are harmful to human health. Cooking by yourself can control the quality and health of ingredients, such as choosing fresh vegetables, fruits, meat, etc., and avoiding excessive fat and salt, so as to ensure a healthy diet.
But cooking usually produces a lot of oil fumes. Cooking oil fume pollution is a kind of indoor air pollution. Cooking oil fume mainly refers to the oil, organic matter and thermal decomposition or pyrolysis products volatilized during the cooking and processing of food. The generation of these pollutants It is related to high temperature, frying and the type of cooking oil. Frequent exposure to oil fume polluted air not only affects the quality of sleep, but also increases the risk of chronic diseases.
In addition, there are many tiny particles in the oil fume. Pollutants with a particle size of less than 2.5 microns can enter the blood through the barrier of lung tissue and deposit in tissues such as the heart and brain . These particles can damage vascular endothelial cells in blood vessels and promote atherosclerosis. A sclerotic process leading to coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction. The deposition of particulate matter in tissues and organs can cause local inflammation, resulting in impaired organ function, and may interfere with the normal activity of the heart, resulting in arrhythmia.
Studies have shown that long-term inhalation of oil fume produced during food cooking is related to tumor occurrence, and using a range hood can significantly reduce the risk of tumor occurrence. Today’s smart range hoods can automatically adjust the range hood based on the monitored data by virtue of sensor technology. The particle sensor and the air quality gas sensor are installed inside the cooker hood. When the sensor is working normally, it can detect the particulate matter and air conditions in the current environment in real time. The technical engineer of Gongcai.com recommends the following air quality sensors to be used in the air quality monitoring of range hoods:
American SPEC Sensors air quality digital output module DGS-Ethanol 968-035 , calibration and temperature compensation output, fast response less than 30 seconds, simple digital UART interface.
AMS digital metal oxide multi-gas sensors ENS160 and ENS145 , true VOC air quality detection, with industry-leading purity and stability, provide multiple outputs that meet IAQ2 signal standards, such as eCO21 and TVOC .
