Health effects of cooking fumes
Part of Brain & nervous system, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at how breathing in tiny particles from cooking (called ultrafine particles) affects your health in the short term. You'll be asked to do simple tasks in a special room, and the results could help us understand the health effects of everyday cooking.
