The state is the first to put labels on the appliances pointing consumers to evidence about the harms of cooking with gas. Appliance manufacturers are…
I’ve had 4 generations grow up in house with propane stovetop. My neighbors have several generations growing up with propane stovetops. Not a single lung disease or breathing issue except our 91 neighbor who smoked in the 80s.
What is really the factor here? Probably that we all have good ventilation and are not living in an urban area next to high pollution factors like highways or industrial complexes.
I hate to sound like a nimby or maga or whatever they are being called and I lean to the left living near Seattle but this just seems like another twisted study that should be of concern under certain contexts. Unfortunately right now having all electric appliances could be more costly as the grid is taxed more from EV usage, carbon taxes and Trumps attacks on renewables. It’s a shitty situation but anything with a label of “This is deadly, here’s a study for proof” should be met with some skeptism and serious research before your purchase.
Indoor air quality is measurably worse, of things known to cause lung issues and there is a statistically significant increase in asthma among kids who grew up in a house with gas stoves. It seems like a solid case to stop using gas stoves
Clearly not everyone develops health conditions but it’s stupid to unnecessarily fight the odds

so if you’ve got passive ventilation it should be fine? Just like using any sort of burner I guess
You need a hood which vents outside and which moves a lot more air than is typical. Passive ventilation doesn’t do anywhere near enough
