Although we commonly consider them to be less dangerous, indoor pollutants are silent killers—very sneaky, considering that they act gradually over time.
In 2022, over 3.4 million deaths were caused by pollutants of this type, largely resulting from cooking food (Data from WHO).
It goes without saying that professional kitchens are among the most at-risk locations. This is even more true if you use wood, gas, or coal for cooking and don’t have suitable filters (more info HERE).
This is why a suitable ventilation system is not just a means to “prevent odours from escaping into the room“, nor merely to comply with safety regulations (unfortunately, there are many who consider that as the only reason).
A ventilation system can (literally) save the life of the cook as well as the entire kitchen team.
So… do the right thing!
Make sure your ventilation system is working. And, if you need one or more extraction hoods, ask your installer for ALUMINOX
