Purpose Indoor and outdoor factors affect personal exposure to air pollutants. Type of cooking appliance (i.e. gas, electricity),
and residential location related to traffic are such factors. This research aims to investigate the effect of cooking with gas and
electric appliances, as an indoor source of aerosols, and residential traffic as outdoor sources, on personal exposures to particulate
matter with an aerodynamic diameter lower than 2.5 μm (PM2.5), black carbon (BC), and ultrafine particles (UFP).
Methods Forty subjects were sampled for four consecutive days measuring personal exposures to three aerosol pollutants, namely
PM2.5, BC, and UFP, which were measured using personal sensors. Subjects were equally distributed into four categories according
to the use of gas or electric stoves for cooking, and to residential traffic (i.e. houses located near or away from busy roads).
Results/conclusion Cooking was identified as an indoor activity affecting exposure to aerosols, with mean concentrations during
cooking ranging 24.7–50.0 μg/m3 (PM2.5), 1.8–4.9 μg/m3 (BC), and 1.4 × 104
–4.1 × 104 particles/cm3 (UFP). This study also
suggest that traffic is a dominant source of exposure to BC, since people living near busy roads are exposed to higher BC
concentrations than those living further away from traffic. In contrast, the contribution of indoor sources to personal exposure to
PM2.5 and UFP seems to be greater than from outdoor traffic sources. This is probably related to a combination of the type of
building construction and a varying range of activities conducted indoors. It is recommended to ensure a good ventilation during
cooking to minimize exposure to cooking aerosols. [-]
