New Study Shows Air Fryers Produce Far Fewer Toxic Particles Than Frying
As air fryers become a staple in modern kitchens, scientists are beginning to examine how they affect the air inside our homes. A new study from the University of Birmingham suggests that air fryers can cut down on the pollution released during frying, even when the food is very high in fat. Compared with common [...]
Air fryers emit fewer VOCs and ultra-fine particles than other forms of frying—if you clean them
Cooking even very fatty food in an air fryer produces fewer airborne particles than other forms of frying, according to a new study from the University of Birmingham. The work is one of the first studies detailing the spectrum of pollutants emitted from air frying, which consumer surveys suggest is quickly becoming one of the most used appliances in UK homes.
The internal pollution generated by air fryers is up to 100 times lower than that produced by traditional cooking methods, according to a study by the University of Birmingham published in the scientific journal ES&T Air. This research has scientifically demonstrated that cooking with this appliance, also known as air fryer, emits only 0.6 micrograms of particles per cubic meter of air. British scientific team analyzed emissions of volatile orga…
