Commercial cooking project
Reducing PM2.5 emissions from commercial cooking
Emissions from commercial cooking are contributing to harmful PM2.5 pollution. PM2.5 refers to tiny particles in the air that are small enough to travel deep inside the lungs, heart and brain. They can lead to serious long-term health conditions such as heart disease.
Commercial cooking contributes approximately 60% of all PM2.5 in Westminster. While this issue often goes unnoticed, it has a real health impact on your staff, customers, and the local community.
We are taking action to address this problem, and we need your input.
