“Nitrogen Dioxide Exposure, Health Outcomes, and Associated Demographic Disparities Due to Gas and Propane Combustion by U.S. Stoves”
Researchers at Stanford University have new evidence that the most harmful source of pollutants to human health is the kitchen gas stove. The new study indicates how indoor exposure to nitrogen dioxide impacts asthma and other respiratory conditions. The study abstract, written by Yannai Kashtan, Metta Nicolson, Colin J.
