abstract = "Cooking process generates lots of harmful fine and ultrafine particles. Ultrafine particles deposited in human lungs have been studied extensively, and has been shown to result in inflammation, impairment of phagocytosis, and thrombosis. In this study, we took the particle samples from an apartment kitchen by using the nano-Micro-Orifice Uniform-Deposit Impactors and monitored the particle concentrations by using a Scanning Mobility Particle Sizer (SMPS) and a 6-channel optical particle counter. Then we compared the direct-read data and the gravimetric analysis result of the particle samples to obtain the density of the particles. During cooking, the concentration of ultrafine particle increases two orders of magnetite as compared to the background concentrations. The polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) species on the particles were analyzed by the gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The caner risks arising from the exposure to these fine and ultrafine particles were assessed according to the result of PAHs analysis.",
