I wonder if there is a similar effect observed in people who cook regularly - especially at high temps or in poorly ventilated spaces. Cleaning the exterior and filters of the exhaust cabinet makes me wonder about the interiors, of, for instance, apartment dwellers doing wok frying.

"Chinese food cooking and lung cancer in women nonsmokers." https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-pdf/151/2/140/272296/151-2-140.pdf https://academic.oup.com/aje/article-pdf/151/2/140/272296/15... > This study presents evidence that cooking habits are associated with lung cancer in Taiwanese women nonsmokers. As shown in this and our earlier study (1), women who do not use fume extractors during cooking are at high risk of developing lung cancer. Furthermore, women who wait until the oil has reached a high temperature before cooking the food (stir frying, frying, and deep frying) and do not use a fume extractor have a consistently higher risk of lung cancer when compared with both hospital and community controls. and further: > In Taiwan, the market for vegetable oil increased from less than 50 percent to 85 percent between 1950 and 1990. However, vegetable oil containing unsaturated fatty acids was found to be more unstable than lard oil at higher temperatures and could emit benzoapyrene, which was not found in lard oil fumes (26).
