Is the air inside your home more dangerous than the air outside it? Gas and propane stoves emit substantial amounts of nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant linked to higher risks of asthma, heart and lung disease, and other conditions. A Stanford-led study finds switching fr...

"A Stanford-led study finds switching from a gas to electric stove would cut nitrogen dioxide exposure across the U.S. by over one half, reducing the risk of asthma."

Wood burning and gas cooking hugely costly to healthcare systems, New Zealand study finds Experts suggest replacing gas hobs with electric ones, saying it is a win–win for health and the climate

'Breathing fumes from gas cooking in New Zealand created over 1,000 hospital admissions, 208 early deaths and over 3,000 new cases of childhood asthma each year, the study found'

The solution has ALWAYS been #HeatPumps. Has just been blocked at every turn by #FossilFuel lobby. Ditto for replacing #GasStoves with #Electric #Induction Cooktops & ovens.

Regulator finds fossil fuel group engaged in greenwashing in defence of gas stoves Regulator finds industry group breached Greenwashing Code with claims electric cooktops are more expensive and more emissions intensive than cooking with gas.

#Australia's ad regulator found a fossil fuel group guilty of #greenwashing, claiming gas stoves are greener than electric. Misleading ads ignored #methane's impact and health risks. Time for transparency in climate claims!

DOE Suspends Energy Efficiency Mandates on Key Home Appliances In a move supported by NAHB, the Department of Energy (DOE) has announced it will postpone the implementation of the latest round of restrictive energy efficiency mandates on key home energy appliance...

DOE bends a knee to "save our gas stoves" gaslighting from the Trump Administration. How will manufacturers who have been retooling to meet new standards take the news after likely investing millions in upgrades? #EnergyPolicy #GasStoves #HomeAppliances #Sustainability www.nahb.org/blog/2025/02...

In the face of mounting health concerns, the industry has taken an approach right out of the tobacco playbook, citing a lack of regulation by the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the EPA as evidence of why the public shouldn’t be concerned. But the EPA has never said gas stoves are safe. In 2016, the agency linked short- and long-term nitrogen dioxide exposure to respiratory problems like asthma. The UCLA study found that indoor NO2 emissions from running a stove alone can sometimes cause levels that the EPA would consider unacceptable outdoors, and running an oven at the same time makes things even worse. Indeed, the data shows that California’s buildings emit more nitrogen oxides than power plants, and only slightly less than cars.

The gas industry claims that proper ventilation can take care of any combustion fumes. Yet even among families who are aware of the potential health effects, many cannot afford to install a sufficiently powerful hood vent, and there’s certainly no regulation requiring it. Indeed, most stove fans do little more than move the polluted air about. Because of dated building codes and an unregulated market, low-income Americans, many of whom are renters, have to put up with invisible combustion byproducts in cramped living spaces.

“If we’re able to get gas bans in new buildings, then these gas companies are losing their growth, they’re losing their new market share, and they’re going to start shrinking,” says Stokes. “That sort of downward spiral becomes very problematic, because then investors start to think this isn’t a good company to invest in. The fights that are playing out in California and New York are really bellwethers for the gas industry overall.”

Environmentalists see the defection of the PR firms as evidence of a shift in public sentiment. Consumers are beginning to realize, “I’m burning fossil fuels with an open flame in my house, and it’s contributing to asthma my kid has; it’s harming my mom, my dad, and my grandparents,” says the Sierra Club’s Gillespie. “I think people’s perception of what it means to have a gas stove changes pretty quickly.”

Cooking is the no. 1 way you're polluting your home. Switch to induction stoves that use magnetic fields.

Did y’all know that ~13% of children’s asthma cases can be linked to #gasstoves?

They spew benzene, a known cancer-causing chemical to levels higher than second hand smoke?

AND we can get them out of our homes thanks to IRA credits.

Has been fascinating to watch the momentum and bans on #pfas w/out any significant blowback compared to the drummed up culture wars over #gasstoves. The difference? Gas companies poured millions into get folks riled up on stoves while companies like DuPont, after being sued, have stayed quiet.

“The effect of #GasStoves on indoor air came into sharp focus this past year after a study linked their use to up to 19,000 deaths in the United States and 50,000 cases of childhood asthma.”

When science showed in the 1970s that gas stoves produced harmful indoor air pollution, the industry reached for tobacco’s PR playbook The natural gas industry has spent years trying to undermine scientific findings about gas stoves and health. If this sounds familiar, that’s no accident.
