A new study suggests that gas stoves are poisoning people in more ways than even the experts knew. The question now is whether the gas industry has been aware of this for years.
A new study recently found that gas stove can emit dangerous chemicals that can potentially cause cancer. Researchers from the PSE Healthy Energy found that stoves in California were emitting 12 [.]
Gas stoves are emitting 12 dangerous chemicals, including the cancer-causing benzene, a new study finds. Around 40million households are using these types of stoves still.
Reason for concern: 3.8 billion people (49% of the global population) still rely on traditional energy sources to support household needs such as cooking, heating, and lighting. Due to this, household air pollution is a top-ten risk factor for global morbidity and mortality.
This webinar will provide a summary of research findings from STAR Grant RD83543801 “Quantifying the climate, air quality and health benefits of improved cookstoves: An integrated laboratory, field and modeling study” and related, ongoing research at Colorado State University.
The study featured a unique approach to integrate multi-level laboratory and field emissions testing and exposure monitoring that fed into indoor exposure and global air quality and climate models. Field measurements were conducted, with the support of local partners, in China, India, Kenya, and Honduras. Join us to gain insights on the implications of study results to improve air quality management decisions and climate evaluation.
