> 11. Cooking pollutes the air. Opening windows for a few minutes after cooking can dramatically improve air quality.
After bad bush fires where I live I invested in both a CO2 monitor and a particle air quality monitor (Dylos DC1100 Pro Air Quality Monitor). It shocked me just how much cooking (and other factors I can't quite determine yet) affected the air quality. Think 10 times more particles due to cooking, even with the fan on and windows open.
Another possible source of indoor air pollution are carpets and other manufactured things, interestingly.
CO2 was bad too, but opening my window has a greater impact on that. But it is shocking to see levels of ~800-900ppm inside with windows closed.
