A new study reveals how typical gas stove use in the U.S. leads to nitrogen dioxide exposure indoors exceeding safe levels set by WHO and EPA, impacting respiratory health.
Disadvantaged households, particularly Black and Latino households and those in smaller living spaces, face higher long-term exposure to nitrogen dioxide from gas stoves compared to the national average.
Research emphasizes the neglect of indoor air quality risks, highlighting gas stoves as significant sources of pollution that can spread beyond the kitchen, affecting the air people breathe most of the time.
