Gas stove emissions increasing childhood asthma rates, adult deaths: Stanford study

Gas stoves in over 40 million U.S. Homes may cause pediatric asthma, with an estimated 50,000 cases linked to nitrogen dioxide exposure, per a recent study.
Nitrogen dioxide levels in half of tested homes exceeded guidelines within 25 minutes of gas stove use, posing health risks according to the Environmental Protection Agency.
Long-Term exposure to nitrogen dioxide from gas stoves possibly contributes to 19,000 adult deaths yearly and 200,000 childhood asthma cases annually due to formaldehyde and benzene release.
