  Gas stoves release all kinds of nasties, from N02 to unburnt gas [1]. You don’t need an anaerobic environment for combustion to be incomplete. And natural gas is a mixture of gases; it doesn’t burn into just C02 and water vapour.

    Yeah made a quick edit when I realized that NG is methane But here’s something from your link that completely reframes the problem: > The Stanford study tested gas stoves in 53 homes. All of the stoves leaked methane gas, even when turned off. Wtf? Are these health effects mainly from (unburnt) gas poisoning and have little to do with actual burner usage/combustion?

      > Are these health effects mainly from (unburnt) gas poisoning and have little to do with actual burner usage/combustion? It’s a combination. You’re never going to get a perfect seal. But a good range hood will still draw those gases away from your lungs.
