Olfactory dysfunction

Posted by Robin on 22 February 2023 5 Comments

Exposure to PM2.5 – the collective name for small airborne pollution particles, largely from the combustion of fuels in vehicles, power stations and our homes – has previously been linked with "olfactory dysfunction", but typically only in occupational or industrial settings. But new research is now starting to reveal the true scale – and the potential damage caused by – the pollution we breathe in every day.

    Yep, after reading some of the recent research, I am looking for a nice induction cooktop to set into a soapstone counter area…

        My plans for the perfect kitchen are coming into focus, sort of rustic boho minimalist vibe.., 🙂

          I have had plans for mine for years, but we never seem to redo the kitchen. And I know my next stove should be induction but meantime, boy do I love my gas stove.

            Yes, I love everything about mine except the greasy residue that lans on windows sills etc, after a while. I read rave reviews about speed of boiling water, heat control and ease of cleanup that has changed my thinking about it. Plus all the new research revealing indoor air quality problems from gas stoves.
