The benefits of gas stoves and other gas appliances are many, but so is the risk. Burning fossil fuels in buildings not only threatens our climate it also poses threats to human health through indoor air pollution. In particular, unvented gas stoves can be a major source of this type of pollution when used for cooking or heating purposes, and scientific research shows these pollutants negatively affect respiratory conditions like asthma!
Despite this growing body of evidence, indoor air pollution remains largely unregulated and poses serious risks for humans worldwide. Over two decades of research support recommendations for policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders concerned about these dangers that often remain invisible until it’s too late – if they ever even know at all!
We hope the findings can spur people into taking action so potentially millions of more lives will be saved from premature death due to lung disease or cancer caused by inhalation exposure.
