Gas and propane stoves significantly increase exposure to nitrogen dioxide in rooms throughout the home, and these unsafe levels of exposure have had harmful effects on the health of tens of ...

Gas and propane stoves create NO2 when they heat the air so much that two atoms of oxygen combine with one atom of nitrogen. Electric stoves, which don’t get as hot, do not cause the same reaction.

Gas stoves may release dangerous amounts of nitrogen dioxide into homes, according to new research. Long-term exposure to NO₂ could be the cause of 19,000 U.S. deaths annually.

In one bedroom, nitrogen dioxide concentrations reached about 70 parts per billion, below the E.P.A. threshold but significantly above the World Health Organization’s standards for chronic exposure.

Silver patches and strands show nitrogen dioxide emissions, a gas produced by combustion that contributes to acid rain, haze, and lung problems. Those aren’t city lights.

Gas stoves are likely giving some children asthma, a study says. Nitrogen dioxide, which forms when natural gas is burned, can irritate airways and worsen breathing problems.

Nitrogen dioxide pollution from gas and propane stoves has caused about 50,000 current cases of childhood asthma nationwide. People living in smaller homes are more likely to be affected by air ...

High concentrations of nitrogen dioxide were detected over a number of U.S. cities and their surrounding regions, including Dallas, Houston, New Orleans, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C.
