Studies have shown that exposure to particulate matter (PM) emitted while cooking is related to adverse human health effects. The level of PM emissions during cooking varies with several factors. This study reviewed controlled studies available in the cooking PM emissions literature, and found that cooking method, type and quality of the energy (heating) source, burner size, cooking pan, cooking oil, food, additives, source surface area, cooking temperature, ventilation and position of the cooking pan on the stove are influential factors affecting cooking PM emission rates and resulting concentrations. Opportunities to reduce indoor PM concentrations during cooking are proposed. Minor changes in cooking habits and manner might result in a substantial reduction in the cook's exposure to the cooking PM. Finally, the need for additional studies is discussed.

Comparison of thermal sterilization and high hydrostatic pressure-HHP on furan formation, microbial and nutritional quality in commercial baby foods
Kültür, Gülçin; Alpas, Hami; Department of Food Engineering (2013)
Furan, which is a lipophilic contaminant and formed during heating process in foods, has been pointed out as a danger in baby foods since it has been classified as “possibly carcinogenic to human” by IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer). Hence, a great concern has been addressed to the analysis of this substance in baby foods. This study aims to prove that sterilization of baby foods is possible by high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) without allowing the formation of furan. Firstly, HHP treatments...
A systematic review on global pollution status of particulate matter-associated potential toxic elements and health perspectives in urban environment

Airborne particulate matter (PM) that is a heterogeneous mixture of particles with a variety of chemical components and physical features acts as a potential risk to human health. The ability to pose health risk depends upon the size, concentration and chemical composition of the suspended particles. Potential toxic elements (PTEs) associated with PM have multiple sources of origin, and each source has the ability to generate multiple particulate PTEs. In urban areas, automobile, industrial emissions, const...
Evaluation of floor-wise pollution status and deposition behavior of potentially toxic elements and nanoparticles in air conditioner dust during urbanistic development

The study was undertaken to investigate deposition behaviors of various size-segregated particles and indoor air quality using dust accumulated on the air conditioner filter acting as a sink for PTEs and nanoparticles that can pose a significant health risk. However, the particulate matter size and chemical composition in AC dust and its relationship with PTEs remains uncertain. Current study aims to investigate the PTEs and nanoparticles composition of AC dust using different analytical approaches includin...
Study on effects of boron and arsenic in yeast cells
Atıcı, Sezin; Ertaş, Gülay; Department of Chemistry (2016)
Arsenic (As) has been the center of attention for researchers regarding its toxic effects in metabolism. Boron (B) can be both essential and toxic depending on its concentration level. The largest known boron deposits are in Turkey, the largest producer of boron minerals. Besides, there are some regions such as Balıkesir-Bigadiç and Kütahya-Emet having very high concentration of B and As in natural sources. In this thesis, an analytical method based on growing yeast cells in the presence of B and/or As foll...
Evaluation of Performance of Arsenic Bioreporter Immobilized Electrospun Membranes for Arsenic Detection in Water
Arık Kınalı, Nehir; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Tezcaner, Ayşen; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-12-9)
Heavy metal pollution, which is growing and threatening the health of all living things as well as human health, can lead to serious lifelong consequences. It is very important to detect and monitor these heavy metals that cause environmental pollution. In addition to traditional laboratory techniques, the use of bacterial biosensors to detect heavy metals has come into focus. In addition, it is known that the immobilization of these bacterial biosensors is more advantageous in many respects, such as being ...
