Nice one. Anyway three-way catalytic converters also convert NOx to N2 and O2. It would be quite bad if they wouldn't.

No, you still get small amounts of the bad (acutely toxic) stuff too. This point is important - whether it's home cooking on gas, gas heating or ICEs running on unicorn farts, there will still be byproducts from imperfect burning. The only real way out is to turn off the fire.
- ErroneousBosh 9mo agoYou might get other byproducts but in quantities barely large enough to measure and certainly too small to make any difference. If you bring out the paper on how cooking with gas fills your house with toxic smoke and the only safe way to cook is an induction stove, I'll show you why it's utter bunk. The TL;DR of it though is that induction stoves emit far more combustion products than gas stoves, if you pick your operating conditions carefully.

- ErroneousBosh 9mo agoThe placebo effect is wonderful, isn't it?
- tpm 9mo ago"Open fire with the products ending up in the room has no negative influence on the air quality in the room" is the hypothesis you failed to prove.
- ErroneousBosh 9mo agoDid you read the part in their paper where they were only able to measure any change in air quality by taping up all the vents and sealing the room, and then actually burning food in the pan? How often do you cook in a completely sealed airtight box?
- tpm 9mo agoI don't even know which paper you are raging against here, but there are several studies which confirm what is already obvious. Have a look at this one for example: https://publications.tno.nl/publication/34641471/zD0Xiz/TNO-2023-R11809.pdf https://publications.tno.nl/publication/34641471/zD0Xiz/TNO-...
