My detector does not measure NOx, so I have no idea. But now that the gas stove is gone it’s no longer relevant
And yeah, definitely concerned about ventilation. I also have a pretty powerful inline exhaust fan, however there is no hood at all. The previous owners installed a pot rack in place of the hood and the kitchen is small enough that I can’t really change that. The exhaust fan is just a ceiling vent. I have no idea whether that balances out as positive (strong fan) or negative (no hood), but now that the gas stove is gone, that’s also a bit less important.
I don’t know if visual spatter/smoke, or smell are useful indicators but the induction stove has less of these. It only cooks what I intend
The hood is mostly important for capturing the vaporized grease and making sure it doesn’t get stuck to the ceiling in the event that your fan isn’t strong enough to keep up with sudden flared ups.
The most important thing for air quality is just how many cubic meter/feet your fan can vent put of the room. As long as it is strong enough to create a draft large enough for the size of your room you should be okay. Hood is for larger particles that the fan can’t move quickly, the volatile chemicals are smaller and should be mostly going up towards your vent as long as it’s placed close enough or is strong enough.
Yeah I’ve been a little worried about that ….
