(Aerosol Science and Technology) This study investigated the effect of range hood flow rate on ultrafine particle concentrations (UFP) during gas stove cooking. Cooking increased the background particle concentrations, but particle removal improved with higher range hood flow rates. The use of higher flow rate range hoods was found to significantly reduce the exposure to UFP.
