I bought a cheap PM2.5 / PM10 meter a few years back because my kid had respiratory problems and I wanted to monitor the pollution levels. The levels of particulate you get from frying something, especially at the point where it's starting to brown a bit, are just insane. I'd never want to work in a kitchen knowing that.
