Do Just One Thing
There have been reports that popular appliances like air fryers can release ultrafine particles into the air as they circulate hot air to crisp food, which may affect indoor air quality. Research is still evolving on how significant this impact is, but it's a reasonable concern -- especially in smaller or poorly ventilated kitchens. One simple way to reduce exposure is to run your kitchen range hood or ventilation fan while using an air fryer to help move particles out of the space. You can also open a nearby window for added airflow. This way, you can keep the convenience of your air fryer while improving your indoor air quality.
