Description

We spend a lot of time in our kitchens, but do you know what’s in the air when you operate your stove or cook food?

It sounds a bit silly, but cooking can actually be dangerous! 

Cooking puts a lot of toxins into your air, so whenever you're cooking, those toxins are releasing into your air and you're breathing them in. 

With proper ventilation, you're curbing a lot of those toxins from getting into your air, which is why a ventilation system is so important for a healthy home!

Today's podcast episode dives into the kinds of toxins found in your kitchen air and the best ventilation options to help minimize and remove them.
