Thread Content
China has the highest incidence of lung cancer among women in the world – who is to blame for this? Are the rumors in recent years about kitchen fumes causing cancer true? What substances are contained in the irritating cooking fumes? How can we then avoid the harms of cooking fumes?

Modern range hoods don’t work at all! It’s better to use an exhaust fan that costs just a few dozen yuan.
Is kitchen fume harmful? It’s possible; after all, oil is likely to be difficult to expel once it gets into the lungs. . . Cancer-causing? Not necessarily; there are too many factors. . Saying that cooking fumes cause cancer might be one-sided. . To avoid the hazards of cooking fumes, one can turn on the range hood and open windows for ventilation while cooking. . I think it's fine. . There’s no need to deliberately avoid cooking fumes excessively. . Because every day, in addition to kitchen fumes, one also breathes polluted air; the food consumed isn’t necessarily very clean, and the same goes for the water. . . There are too many factors; deliberately avoiding just one factor may not have much effect. . .
Can a exhaust fan that costs just a few dozen yuan perform better than a range hood? Range hoods are still somewhat useful; they can only reduce smoke and fumes. It’s not realistic to expect them to eliminate all smoke completely.
During my last visit to the Health Museum, it was explained that housewives’ lungs are light gray in color, those of people who smoke heavily have black lungs, while normal people’s lungs are red. It’s true that smoke and grease can be difficult to eliminate from the lungs. Sometimes when cooking very spicy dishes or using high-temperature frying, it seems that the oil extractor isn’t very effective, and it’s quite hard to breathe.
When renovating a house, the kitchen must have windows. . Try to keep the window open while cooking. . . Aren’t the elderly also often cooking? There are many of them who are quite old as well~~~
Back in the countryside, people used large pots, so the fumes didn’t seem to be as severe. Besides, kitchens there were generally larger than those in cities, so the fumes dispersed more quickly.
Mm-hm. . Opening windows for ventilation seems necessary. . .
Carcinogenesis is certain, but it is not a significant factor.
Logically, there should be some measure to assess this; if it’s not a significant factor, then what are the key factors behind the incidence of lung cancer in women?
I think this might be true, so it’s necessary to use a good range hood........
