The home appliance industry would like you to believe that gas-burning stoves are not a risk to your health – and several companies that make the devices are scrambling to erase their prior acknowledgements that they are.

I am a gas girl… forced to use shitty coil electric stoves for too many years, I was stoked when I moved to a place with a gas stove. Its old as hell, but my workhorse.
I can smell the gas when I preheat the oven. The exhaust vent works, but I wish it worked better. Summa isn’t so bad, because I have windows open and fans going, but it’s only been in the last month or so, I’ve been reading all this stuff about gas stoves and the dangers for health. I cook everyday.
It definitely freaks me out. We can’t afford to replace a working appliance, or to switch off gas (we already have an indentured servitude relationship with the electric company). So, I’m thinking of getting a small air purifier to run on the counter by the stove before winter hits this year.
It does suck when you learn something you love is bad for your health.
