Findings from the team at the Rocky Mountain Institute in Colorado suggest that the roughly 35 per cent of American homes that use gas stoves should mitigate the spread of toxins like nitrogen dioxide and benzene by switching to an electric induction stove.
Their research is the latest installment in a growing body that shows the danger of having a gas stove in the home, which can emit carcinogenic toxins that put people at risk of severe health effects.

wrote “Natural Capitalism”
from book review by Green Goundswell
The book defines natural capital as water, minerals, oil, trees, fish, soil, etc. It discusses the impact of our current system of industrial capitalism on people and the environment and provides a compelling alternative.
right...no conflict of interest there.
Just more of the war on “fossil” fuels.
Oh, bollocks!
Or actually light the burner, which will burn the gas.
BS starting to eliminate gas stoves
Lol!
They lie so much to manipulate the sheep
Good thing we don’t have any kids at home! 🙄
Wow what a load of BS. Amazing how the entire MSM establishment gets and stays on message to further the cause.

And they have electric stoves.
Even if true, it’s not grounds for banning gas stoves.
More fake science to destroy the gas energy industry.
Anyone who has studied indoor air quality KNOWS the longer a home is closed up, the HIGHER the particulate count. It’s from skin cells, breakdown of fibers (natural and synthetic), dust mites, dust mite poop, and more. Ya gotta change HVAC filtration or run HEPA filters, especially through the winter and summer when bldgs are locked up tighter than Gwyneth Paltrow’s wazoo after a good steaming.
Natural gas? I don’t think this is from the GAS itself (methane, propane, few other very light chain organics), but maybe from the hydrogen SULFIDE gas added to natural gas so we can SMELL it.
Funny no one mentions that.
Well, yes, burning natural gas is bound to release some undesirable compounds, but gas cook tops and stoves should be vented via an exhaust fan to outside the house.
That said, once you cook with an induction cook top for a while, I don’t see how there’s any going back to gas or conventional electric cook top.
It’s “Soft Path” energy guru Amory Lovins’ outfit. Been around since Carter times.
I call BS
I had neighbors who did all their cooking on a wood burning stove.
There was NOTHING that woman could NOT make.
Childhood asthma rates have sky-rocketed, smoking indoors and gas stove usage have dropped dramatically. What ELSE is going on?!
You don’t have enough masks on yet.
Go put five more on.
Just to safe.
