Fact checking:
The title of this thread is false -
"Gas stoves pollute homes, even with fan on" - FALSE.
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.
