Only so much you can do about ambient pollution in your city.

Looking carefully at your cooking situation is worthwhile though. Was horrified by the spike in readings from stuff like steak in a pan

Are there studies showing indoor air pollution from cooking in a residential setting is linked to dementia?

Good question, but I will say yes just based on the science I know. The type of pollutant does not matter, it is whatever effects heat shock proteins to effect protein folding.

Heat shock proteins (and cold shock proteins) are affected by more than temperature, but temperature is really important as well.[1][2]
