Normal values were taken as 10% below Caucasian values.
Two subjects were excluded because of poor quality blows.
↵* Cumulative exposure during the cooking period in the morning and evening.
AEC, after evening cooking; AMC, after morning cooking; BEC, before evening cooking; BMC, before morning cooking; COPD, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; FEV₁, ean forced expiratory volume in 1 s; FEF_25–75, forced expiratory flow between 25% and 75% of FVC; FVC, forced vital capacity; SAD, small airways disease.
