UFPs Generated During Cooking with an Electric StoveYijia ZhaoInstitute for a Sustainable EnvironmentSince airborne particulate matter (PM) has great adverse effects on human health, indoor pollution has increasingly become a significant and popular area of study. Previous research suggests that more than 90% of emitted particles during frying are in the ultrafine particle (UFP) range, which can cause much more problems on human health.( Wallace et al, 2004) Recently, our study is aimed to reveal ultrafine particles, emitted from different kind of cooking oils. Aerosol technology, which includes Wide-size Particle Spectrometer, Aethalometer, Piezobalance and DustTrak, is applied for testing the size distribution of particles, the ratio of black carbon, and the total mass of particles. We have found that as the temperature of cooking oils increase, the total mass of particles and the percentage of black carbon increase. Thus, it is advisable for people to cook below the smoke temperature of oils.2013, Environmental Science and Policy, Honors Program, Alan
