The importance of having a well-ventilated kitchen

When experts design kitchens, they need to take into account ergonomics, the availability of gas and electrical connections, the cost of different appliances, as well as the aesthetics of the overall installation. But more importantly, they have to take into account kitchen ventilation. Why is ventilation so crucial? Let’s find out more.

Why ventilation is vital to ensure a healthy cooking space

Above all, ventilation is an essential way to avoid the inhalation of potentially harmful gases that are created during typical cooking processes.

When we cook proteins and carbohydrates, they can release molecules called aldehydes or alkanoic acids. These substances are known to cause respiratory problems, while other aromatic hydrocarbons and heterocyclic substances may even be carcinogenic, so they need to be removed efficiently from kitchen environments.

Studies of cookery workers have found higher rates of pneumonia and bronchitis (probably caused by fatty molecules ), and long-term exposure is associated with early mortality – so the ventilation of kitchens is a serious public health issue.

Ensure that kitchen walls and ceilings remain spotless

Secondly, good ventilation is a proven way to keep the paintwork or tiles of domestic kitchens cleaner, for longer. When we cook, we tend to release grease molecules which attach to nearby surfaces. That’s why you’ll often see grimy deposits on in between tiles or on the ceiling of poorly ventilated kitchens.

This isn’t just an aesthetic problem, although it can definitely lead to unnecessary clean-up costs. It’s also another public health concern, providing places for bacteria to thrive, and raising the risk of food poisoning.
