👉 Restaurant fumes, often invisible but highly noticeable, can include a variety of chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) released from cooking oils, cleaning products, and building materials. These emissions can lead to a range of health issues, from eye irritation and headaches to more severe respiratory problems and allergic reactions. The primary culprits are often found in grease drippings, smoke from burning food, and the use of aerosol sprays or scented candles. Even after ventilation systems have cleared some of these fumes, lingering odors can persist, affecting the overall dining experience and indoor air quality. Restaurants can mitigate these issues by using non-toxic cleaning agents, proper ventilation, and regular maintenance of their cooking equipment and HVAC systems.
