From Stanford University---

The clip is only a bit over ONE MINUTE long.
The Bad News
Scientific studies by Stanford scientists have concluded:
a) gas kitchen stoves emit concerning levels of benzene (a known carcinogen);
b) children in homes using gas stoves have a 42% higher chance of developing asthma than kids in homes without such stoves;
c) gas stoves emit other pollutants as well, such as nitrogen dioxide (which causes respiratory problems) and methane (natural gas); and,
d) the stove hood fan does little to lower benzene levels.
[Other studies have shown that gas stoves emit formaldehyde and carbon monoxide as well.]
The Good News
There's not a lot:
a) a well-ventilated home can significantly reduce benzene concentrations; and,
b) benzene levels will be lower if you never run the stovetop burners on "High".
It would appear that natural gas is not as "clean" as the petrochemical industry has been saying for years and years. Or perhaps they meant in comparison to coal, which isn't a very high bar, eh?

Not only my opinion. Be Well
p.s. Please excuse the spacing problems in this piece. Tried to correct them, but faulty algorithms prevented me from doing so. [High Tech has more faulty algorithms than the amount of "Carter's Little Liver Pills" decades ago. And the Techies want us to trust them with so-called "A. I.":]
