We spend a lot of time in our kitchens, but do you know what’s in the air when you operate your stove or cook food?

It sounds a bit silly, but cooking can actually be dangerous! 

Cooking puts a lot of toxins into your air, so whenever you're cooking, those toxins are releasing into your air and you're breathing them in.
