Air fryers are loved for their ability to cook crispy meals with little to no oil. But did you know they can release fine particles (PM2.5) into your kitchen air?
What is PM2.5 and why should you care?
PM2.5 refers to particulate matter smaller than 2.5 micrometers (about 30 times thinner than a humain hair). These particles are so tiny that they can penetrate deep into your lungs and even enter your bloostream. Long-term exposure is linked to:
Respiratory diseases (asthma, bronchitis)
Cardiovascular problems
Increased risk of stroke and cancer
While we often associate PM2.5 with outdoor pollution, indoor sources can be just as dangerous, especially cooking and air fryer pollution.
Our Test: air frying chicken nuggets at 200°C
We tested PM2.5 emissions during air frying using 2 setups:
Without MyFibres papers: PM2.5 rose from 3 to 23 µg/m³
With MyFibres papers: PM2.5 rose only from 2 to 4 µg/m³
That's a very significant reduction in harmful particles! To get this result, we used our perfect combo for air fryer cooking: MyFryer (air fryer paper) + MyAbsorb (oil-absorbing paper).
The detailed results and pictures:
Why this matters for your health
Cooking emissions are a major source of indoor air pollution. Every time you fry, you may be breathing in harmful particles. Over time, this can affect your lungs, heart, and overall well-being.
Good news: a simple paper can make a big difference!
