Burning natural gas generates high levels of nitrogen oxides, linked to asthma in children

Gas stoves produce more indoor air pollutants than even some scientists expect. After taking measurements, many of these researchers are switching to electric stoves — and warning the public about the health risks of cooking with gas.

When Tara Kahan took pollution readings inside homes after cooking with a gas stove in 2017 and 2018, the University of Saskatchewan chemist and her colleagues were surprised by both how high the levels of nitrogen oxides were and how long they lasted.

Exposure to nitrogen oxides, produced when gas is burned, is linked to respiratory problems such as asthma and decreased lung function, especially in children. For example, a 2013 meta-analysis of 41 studies found that children living in a home that used gas for cooking had a 42 per cent increased risk of having asthma.

Kahan's measurements found that not only did levels of nitrogen oxide pollutants sometimes exceed Health Canada guidelines for a one-hour exposure, but the pollutants often lingered for a couple of hours.

"It really took a long time to go away," said Kahan, associate professor and Canada Research Chair in Environmental Analytical Chemistry. "All of the researchers were pretty horrified."

Kahan immediately applied the new knowledge to her own life.

"After that, as soon as it was feasible, I switched from a gas stove to [electric] induction," she said.

She's not the only one.

Rob Jackson, professor of environmental sciences at Stanford University, co-authored a recent study that found gas stoves leak unexpectedly high levels of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, even when they're off — and they generate significant levels of indoor air pollution.

What he found pushed him to work on electrifying his home too.

His gas stove has an electric oven, but it doesn't seem possible to swap out just the burners.

"I am reluctant to throw away a perfectly good electric oven," he said. "But we're going to do that."

The combined health and climate impacts of stoves are also starting to catch the attention of celebrity chefs, such as John Horne, Angus An and John Kung, who have become evangelists for electric induction stoves in a field where gas stoves were once considered an essential tool for anyone serious about cooking.

Gas stoves generate dangerous levels of indoor air pollution and leak climate-changing methane. Now, some chefs are endorsing this alternative. 3:08

Health impacts of gas stoves
Dr. Melissa Lem is a Vancouver family physician and president-elect of the Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment. The group ran an ad campaign last year highlighting the negative health impacts of natural gas, including those linked to:

Pollution from natural gas extraction, such as birth defects and cancer.

Climate change caused by leaking methane, the main component in natural gas and a far more potent greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.

Indoor air pollution from cooking with natural gas.

Lem noted that in 2015, Health Canada issued new residential air quality guidelines for nitrogen dioxide — one of several pollutants created when cooking with a gas stove — due to its negative health impacts.

"Most gas ranges in Canada do not even come close to meeting these air quality standards," she said. "And research shows that this can harm your health, like worsening asthma … in kids" or exacerbate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in adults.

Lem added that nitrogen oxides aren't the only pollutants released when cooking on gas stoves — others include formaldehyde, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, which can be deadly.

Naked flames in a house - especially a closed one remove oxygen from the air & replaces it with those other nasties.

Most homes that have gas via bottles are supplied with LPG.

I don't know what cities have a system of piped gas throughout the CBD & suburbs ... I thought all that old infrastructure had been removed ..... it certainly has in my city. All bottled LPG.

So who is using not so "natural" gas? aka CSG.

How can fumes build up in a kitchen if you have
an air extractor fan on directly above your gas stove
which you use whenever you cook?

Japanese use stand-alone gas heaters (cabinet heaters - banned in AUS) in their homes, particularly older buildings, and the fumes are horrendous. Older buildings are so drafty it doesn't matter as much but I have seen them in new buildings too.

That is not a 6m sliding door. They must be very flimsy if a 5-year-old can open them.

The glass alone would weigh at least 44 kg for 6 mm thick tempered glass so a likely total weight of 60 kg per door. If the glass is thicker it would be proportionally heavier.

A gas stove is particularly useful when the electricity goes out.

Hot water tea coffee - food.

My parents home had an old 1920's gas light in the kitchen.

Also had a full fireplace with old style chimney. You only had a problem if you forgot to open the Flue damper. We burned coal till after the 60's. There was always lots of ventilation before we started the fire as the risks were well known. The chimney had to be regularly cleaned.

I have always preferred to cook on gas. The current electric oven burns everything. It's the most useless piece of carp I have ever had.

Sliding and rolling are not the same actions. Sliding requires much more force than roll8ing.

A 60+ kg door cannot feel weightless.

Evidently, Dnarever has never owned a sliding glass door.


Quote:
How much force should it take to open a sliding glass door?
These standards require that, depending on door type, the doors must be able to open at a maximum force of 30 to 40 pounds, and must be able to keep moving at a maximum force of 20 to 25 pounds. These forces may not sound like much, but in reality they are quite substantial.

thanks.
I've twice lived in homes where I've had gas and more times where is it electricity.

Overall I prefer electricity.
It's easier and probably cheaper to get just one bill, certainly with solar panels on the roof, electric is the go.
It's less hassle to use electric and I found overall not quicker to use gas.
With gas I prepare the veges, then turn the gas on.
With electricity I prepare 1/2 the veges, then turn the electric hob on, then do the other 1/2 of the veges.

Gas or electric, it just changes the time when I turn the heating on.
The time from walking into the kitchen to everything being cooked is pretty similar

Caravans have extractor fans too idiot.

Extractor fans above stove tops are not always vented to the outside through the ceiling ..... many just recirculate the air through the filters to extract oil vapors ...

the air is then simply pushed back into the room/kitchen.

Of course there is a chimney ::)

When fires are dampened down so they are not roaring through the wood they feed on & remove the oxygen in the room.

That's why the advice is to always leave a window open.


Quote:
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a killer that claims the lives of more 500 people in the United States every year. Known as the “Silent Killer” because it is odorless and invisible, CO is the number one cause of poisoning fatalities. Fireplaces and other fuel-burning appliances are the leading sources for exposure to carbon monoxide. With the proper awareness and preventative action, CO poisoning is entirely preventable.

Carbon monoxide is produced when fuels such as wood, gas, charcoal, kerosene, and oil are burned. A fire which burns efficiently and which has proper ventilation up through a sound chimney does not typically release dangerous quantities of carbon monoxide into a home. But, for instance, if a faulty fuel-burning appliance such as a natural gas burner operates in an enclosed space which lacks good ventilation, dangerous amounts of carbon monoxide can be released and cause poisoning. High levels of CO can kill a person within minutes.

Supposed to have correct ventilation - but appliances can become faulty & chimney vents blocked.

Sliding and rolling are not the same actions. Sliding requires much more force than roll8ing.

A 60+ kg door cannot feel weightless.

Evidently, Dnarever has never owned a sliding glass door.

How much force should it take to open a sliding glass door?
These standards require that, depending on door type, the doors must be able to open at a maximum force of 30 to 40 pounds, and must be able to keep moving at a maximum force of 20 to 25 pounds. These forces may not sound like much, but in reality they are quite substantial. 


Funny how easily my 2.5 year old granddaughter at about 25 pounds could open that 40 pound weight.


I have an oversized front sliding glass/aluminium door at 2.7mtrs..... 1.35mtr of that being fixed

the remaining sliding door is the heaviest, constant roller wrecking sliding door I have ever experienced.

Mine is about 5 years old and still as good as the day it was installed.  A year ago my kid tried to fly a metal jet fighter thru on panel so got the guy who made it out to replace the glass, while he was there he pulled out all the panels and checked the rollers.

I often go into brand new apartments that have sliding doors that are hard to move because they have very tight seals for noise insulation.

No, recirculating range hoods filter smoke and smells but wouldn't remove carbon monoxide.

People don’t die because the amount of CO even with all burners going isn't concentrated enough.  If you had a huge stove one a 2/m kitchen with all the doors and windows closed you'd die.

Laughs assertion is partially true because some houses are poorly designed.  I'd suggest in Australia less so where the weather is better and windows and doors open.

In my situation, a top line range hood next to a huge sliding door.

Small kitchen should have a CO detector.

Heads, you lose, Bobby. "fans can help, but they only cut pollutant levels in half".

Perhaps Bobby is addicted to Nitrous Oxide and gaseous Formaldehyde from his gas cooker and Bobby puts a hood over his own head to maximize pollutant infusion."

"Exposure to nitrogen oxides, produced when gas is burned, is linked to respiratory problems such as asthma and decreased lung function, especially in children. For example, a 2013 meta-analysis of 41 studies found that children living in a home that used gas for cooking had a 42 per cent increased risk of having asthma."

"Kahan's measurements found that not only did levels of nitrogen oxide pollutants sometimes exceed Health Canada guidelines for a one-hour exposure, but the pollutants often lingered for a couple of hours."

"Rob Jackson, professor of environmental sciences at Stanford University, co-authored a recent study that found gas stoves leak unexpectedly high levels of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, even when they're off — and they generate significant levels of indoor air pollution."

"Lem added that nitrogen oxides aren't the only pollutants released when cooking on gas stoves — others include formaldehyde, nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, which can be deadly."

"Kahan said hood fans can help, but they only cut pollutant levels in half."

"Not only did Jackson's study find that gas stoves leak more methane than thought, but newer, more expensive stoves were no less leaky than older, cheaper ones. He suspects there's no other way to fix the problem."

Bobbies head versus scientific measurement. Heads, you lose Bobby.

Sealing well is not desirable with gas. ventilation is required. a lack of ventilation will cause the escape gas path to fail. Lots of air flow makes a gas fire safer.

Most homes now do ......

stop being such a drama queen.

So you're blaming the Vic govt lockdowns for you showing that you need to get out more?....

out of your own bubble. ::)

Have you ever seen a gas stove without
an extractor fan in the ceiling?


Bobby, you seem very agitated by this issue. Have you been affected by Nitrous Oxide, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide from your cooking appliances?

Were you chief cook and bottle-washer at Chez Gordon?



No - I was irritated by the false title of this thread.
The internet is full of fake news and crap without you adding to it.

You have yet to apologise for starting it.


Are you faking it, Bobby?

Take a break from your hot, methane-leaking, gas stove and smell the flowers before you totally are corrupted by toxic gas ingestion.

Australia has had about 4 generations of them. Pre 2000 ish they were relatively rare. Your parents and grandparents and their parents lived their entire lives like this.

It started to become a legal requirement in some Australian states from after 2005 at the earliest  I think that Vic was 2015 and the regulations seem to vary significantly.

All gas installations are supposed to have both floor and ceiling vents. Older houses didn't seal well.


I have never even seen a floor vent - I imagine it would be a task with concrete slabs.

They are near the floor and vent to the outside.

AGL was about the second formed company on the stock exchange in 1837 and started providing town gas in 1841.

i.e no fan vents needed for at least the first 130 years. Guess there were ventilation rules.

i.e Need to have a door the room size matters and a kitchen will need a window or ventilation.

Currently an external fan / vent is required in NSW. While it is a good idea people did survive with it as the major cooking method for well over 100 years with no external ventilation required.

When you look at house designs you mostly find a kitchen with an external door close by and a window.

I believe you but still have never seen one.  What heavy gasses are produced ? Maybe No2?

Looks like a higher risk may be to the environment.

Carbon monoxide can be produced from gas heaters.

"It's slightly lighter than air but not enough to rise to the ceiling in a room. Instead, it tends to disperse itself, mixing with the air and spreading throughout a space. "
