The New York Times recently highlighted findings that reveal how good ventilation can help protect your health from gas stove emissions—and just how crucial it is. According to a new study from Jaume I University in Spain, pollutants from gas stoves lead to tens of thousands of premature deaths each year in the European Union and Britain alone, while also contributing to rising asthma rates in children. These sobering statistics remind us of the importance of managing indoor air quality, especially when it comes to gas stove emissions, which include nitrogen oxide and benzene—both harmful to respiratory health. So, what can you do if you have a gas stove? One simple but powerful solution is ventilation. Quality ventilation not only helps control cooking fumes and odors but also significantly reduces harmful emissions, protecting your health and ensuring a safer cooking environment.
