Health issues with indoor cooking comparing gas and electric

​

• Journal of Allergy & Clinical Immunology (JACI) - Asthma Control Before and After Changing Gas Stoves to Electric Stoves. In this study, researchers replaced gas stoves with electric stoves for 85 individuals with poorly controlled asthma. ER visits, hospitalizations and missed work and school days were all dramatically reduced. The study was terminated by the Trump EPA

• UCLA School of Public Health Study - Effects of Residential Gas Appliances on Indoor and Outdoor Air Quality and Public Health in California (pdf)

• Rocky Mountain Institute - Indoor Air Pollution: the Link between Climate and Health

• California Air Resources Board - Indoor Air Pollution from Cooking.

• Sean Armstrong, Redwood Energy -  Induction Stoves and EMF Testing (pdf)

• Tom Lent - Gas & Induction Cooktops & Health (pdf) Review of studies of air pollution from natural gas cooking and radiation studies for induction cooking. Latest revision October 2022

I will be adding the latest studies on asthma and other new discoveries of the health problems of burning gas in the home shortly.
