These pollutants are caused by the interaction between a naked flame and vaporised oil released from the cookware.

Induction hobs

Induction hobs differ from gas and electric hobs as they utilize magnetism to heat pans and pots instead of direct heat. Beneath the glass surface of an induction hob, there are coils through which a fluctuating electrical current is flowing. When an induction-compatible pot is placed on top, it triggers the magnetic field to produce electricity within the iron inside of the pan, which heats it and in turn cooking the food inside. These hobs are famous for their speedy cooking as well as being energy efficient. Many homeowners report an improvement in their overall cooking expenses.

There are some sources that suggest that induction hobs emit high levels of electromagnetic fields - with frequencies in the kilohertz range when employed. These fields won't harm your health at normal distances, and they'll diminish as you increase the distance. However, these magnetic fields may cause problems for pacemakers, so it's best to maintain a minimum distance of five to ten centimetres between the cooker and any pacemaker.

Induction hobs also require specific cookware. They require an even base and are made of steel or iron, with an added magnetic layer.
