Industry Knew—and Hid—Dangers of #GasStoves Over 50 Years Ago

Brett WilkinsMar 07, 2023

"Newly uncovered documents published last week by #DeSmog reveal that the leading #GasIndustry trade group knew over 50 years ago that cooking with gas stoves could harm human #health and tried to cover up the evidence.

"The DeSmog revelations regarding the #AmericanGasAssociation (AGA) came as the gas industry is pushing back against climate and public health advocates' efforts to ban new gas stoves amid mounting scientific evidence that the appliances threaten the warming planet and people's health.

"Recent studies—which, among other things, showed that #NitrogenDioxide, #CarbonMonoxide, and ultrafine particles produced by gas stoves cause a range of health problems, including 1 in 8 U.S. cases of childhood #asthma—sparked fast and furious backlash from the gas industry and its congressional boosters.

"'It's less widely known that the gas industry has long sponsored its own research into the problem of indoor air pollution from gas stoves,' wrote DeSmog's Rebecca John. 'Now, newly discovered documents reveal that the American Gas Association was studying the health and indoor pollution risks from gas stoves as far back as the early 1970s—that they knew much more, at a far earlier date, than has been previously documented.""

Regardless of politics, culture wars, and regulations, if you have a gas stove and can replace it or encourage your landlord to replace it, do it

We lived with a gas stove when my kids were 2-8. Every winter one of them would develop a cough that lasted at least a month. My oldest was diagnosed with cough variant asthma

After moving to a home with electric stove, respiratory problems disappeared. No asthma. My $0.02

More and more research about the dangers of nitrogen dioxide from gas stoves. I can't help but wonder if this is one of the reasons that Taiwanese women (including nonsmokers) have such high levels of lung cancer? Moreover, it seems that mechanical ventilation doesn't do much to help reduce #NO2 pollution in the home.
