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.
What’s happening
We have launched a project aimed at reducing harmful emissions from commercial cooking. By installing air quality monitors and purifiers in local businesses, we are testing whether these measures can help reduce PM2.5 levels and provide more information about air quality in commercial kitchens.
The project will last for three months and is at no cost to businesses.
Installation takes under an hour and will be done at a convenient time for your business to ensure minimal disruption.
A qualified electrician is responsible for the installation and removal of the devices.
