In these days of catalytic converters, with computer-controlled oxygen sensing in the cars, car emissions are miniscule. Comparisons of automobiles to stoves are absurd. Be carful what you advocate, or soon the government will be requiring computer controlled frying pans with catalytic converters.
I have a couple of ‘spatter shields’ that I can use over the frying pan when I need to do so.
Both have handles-—were not expensive. Easy to clean.
