The Gas Stove Wars are Far From OverPSE researcher Eric Lebel said they were interested in how much emissions came from the stove, so they had to be sure it wasn’t escaping the room or outside. They conducted the research in an enclosed space by tenting the kitchen (these were kitchens in real homes). That gave them the conclusion that families who don’t use range hoods or have poor ventilation can blow past these one-hour standards of nitrogen dioxide within a few minutes.

Gas Stoves Pose Health Risks. Are Gas Furnaces and Other Appliances Safe to Use?Gas stoves have become an unlikely front line in the culture wars thanks to growing awareness of their contribution to health problems like childhood asthma, not to mention their links to climate change. But the other gas-fueled appliances found in many American homes — water heaters, furnaces, and clothes dryers, to name a few — have received far less attention, although they also pose risks to public health and the environment.

BGE’s proposed rate increase would be difficult burden for many, say customers, officials and advocatesEnergy bills eat up a large chunk of income for some Maryland residents, a study released Wednesday showed. About 400,000 households in the state and nearly 30% of Baltimore residents pay more than 6% of their income on energy bills, considered a high level, according to the Institute for Energy and Environmental Research and PSE Healthy Energy. And for 170,000 residents with incomes less than $26,500 for a family of four, energy costs accounted for about 20% of income, the study showed.

The scientific case against gas stovesGas-fired stoves are essentially “little gas-fired power plants in your home,” says Drew Michanowicz, a scientist at PSE Healthy Energy, a public health-focused nonprofit based in California. And since we spend about 90 percent of our time indoors, we can expose ourselves heavily.
