The results indicated the cooking activity led to increase emissions of PMs.&nbsp; During cooling, the average PM1, PM2.5, and PM10 concentrations were 0.127, 0.133, and 0.135 mg/m<sup>3</sup> respectively. The mean respirable dust was 0.131 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, and 0.140 mg/m<sup>3</sup> for the total dust. &nbsp;During non-cooking, the restaurants, had lower emissions, 0.066, 0.067, 0.073, 0.068, and 0.07 mg/m<sup>3</sup>, of PM1, PM2.5, PM10, respirable dust, and total dust respectively. The risk assessment matrix of respirable dust and total dust showed acceptable risk levels</p> ER -
