Cooking　oil　fumes　contain　complex　particulate　matter　and　volatile　organic　compounds　(VOCs),　which　pose　a　significant　threat　to　the　atmospheric　environment　and　human　health.　This　review　offers　a　detailed　analysis　of　the　chemical　compositions　and　emission　characteristics　of　VOCs　from　cooking　oil　fumes　and　their　corresponding　treatment　methods,　with　the　highlight　being　put　on　the　current　state　of　catalytic　VOC　oxidation,　which　covers　the　oxidation　of　various　VOCs,　including　alkanes,　aromatics,　oxygenated　VOCs,　and　mixed　VOCs.　The　review　also　explores　the　types　and　formation　mechanisms　of　the　byproducts　of　VOC　oxidation.　Moreover,　it　offers　an　in-depth　examination　of　catalytic　oxidation　performance,　mechanisms,　and　future　development　directions　of　various　catalysts,　including　noble-metal-based,　transition　metal　oxide,　and　rare-earth-doped　catalysts.　The　conclusions　drawn　from　this　review　can　provide　useful　insights　into　efficient　elimination　of　VOCs　from　cooking　and　related　industries.
