In the older homes in The Villages, they used ductless recirculating vents that while were OK to remove smoke and smells, did nothing to remove benzine from the air.
The new homes are ducted to the outdoors, but lets be honest here - most people don't turn on the fans when they are cooking.
The only way to provide "adequate ventilation" is to open the windows and leave them open for about half an hour after cooking. Nobody is doing that.
