U.S. may be getting close to a gas stove ban
Quick Glance: A US agency rejects the proposal of a gas stove ban. Here's what we know so far.
  • According to a growing body of research, gas stoves release pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide, methane, hexane, toluene, benzene, ethylbenzene, and xylene, all of which are hazardous to human health.

  • A more recent peer-reviewed study published last month in the International Journal of Environmental Health and Research compared the risk of childhood asthma to that of second-hand smoke.

  • Health Canada said in a statement to CTV News Toronto:

  • "Health Canada has conducted studies to assess the level of pollutants derived from the use of gas cooktop stoves."
