A number of studies in recent years have examined the dangers of having a gas stove in the home. Now, in a new study from Stanford, researchers turned the stove on, testing indoor air quality under a number of common cooking situations. They turned the oven on to 350 degrees for 45 minutes — a common cooking setting for lasagna. The consumer rebates offered through the Inflation Reduction Act to swap gas stoves for electric ones might be helpful to some people but don’t go far enough. Instead, the common gas stove is causing industrial pollution in our homes that is threatening everyone’s health.
