You mean the measurable increase of NO2 and benzene the NIH recorded in homes with gas stoves?

Fair enough about Facebook, I think you did the right thing! But I have already stumbled onto your link as a source for “gas stoves bad”, and it’s just not true.
This is part of the short abstract (from your link):
If kitchens are not well ventilated, benzene, nitrogen dioxide, and other VOCs may reach levels known to harm health.
I’d emphasize the If kitchens are not well ventilated so for me it’s as obvious as saying electric stoves are dangerous if the wiring isn’t well done. Or, gas stoves are not dangerous, like bicycles aren’t etc.

None of the apartments I’ve ever lived in have had actual extraction fan vents that went outside. They all sucked air in through a grease filter and blew them out in basically your face.

Less cancer and asthma than wood/charcoal though. But at some point you need to accept risk and enjoy life.

I’d rather grill 3-4 times a year than have who knows what coming out with that gas, in an appliance in my house almost every day.
