I have some air filters with air quality sensors on them, and we have an electric range so there's no natural gas combustion happening. Often when cooking (pan frying especially), those sensors will max out and send the air filters into turbo mode for a good while.

For doing wok frying, I got an outdoor propane burner so that it's far more dilute, and that delicious cancer-causing wok hei is delivered only to our stomachs rather than lungs and stomachs. The outdoor wok burner is also far superior to any indoor residential gas stove too for this purpose.

Maybe we'll move back to that design, to keep the pollution in the main space down.
