    New War -- Against Gas Stoves

    New York CNN

    A federal agency is considering a ban on gas stoves, a source of indoor pollution linked to childhood asthma.

    In an interview with Bloomberg, a US Consumer Product Safety commissioner said gas stove usage is a "hidden hazard."

    "Any option is on the table. Products that can't be made safe can be banned," agency commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. told Bloomberg. The report said the agency plans "to take action" to address the indoor pollution caused by stoves.

    The CPSC has been considering action on gas stoves for months. Trumka recommended in October that the CPSC seek public comment on the hazards associated with gas stoves. The pollutants have been linked to asthma and worsening respiratory conditions.

    A December 2022 study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that indoor gas stove usage is associated with an increased risk of current asthma among children. The study found that almost 13% of current childhood asthma in the US is attributable to gas stove use.

    Trumka told Bloomberg the agency plans to open public comment on gas stove hazards. Options besides a ban include "setting standards on emissions from the appliances."

    Thirty-five percent of households in the United States use a gas stove, and the number approaches 70% in some states like California and New Jersey. Other studies have found these stoves emit significant levels of nitrogen dioxide, carbon monoxide and fine particulate matter – which without proper ventilation can raise the levels of indoor concentration levels to unsafe levels as deemed by the EPA.

    "Short-term exposure to NO2 is linked to worsening asthma in children, and long-term exposure has been determined to likely cause the development of asthma," a group of lawmakers said in a letter to chair Alexander Hoehn-Saric, adding it can also exacerbate cardiovascular illnesses.

    The gas stove ban is nothing more than to take away freedom from Americans and limit their comfort level in which to provide for their families.
    We have a gas furnace. No doubt, the EPA (under Bidens watch) will attempt to ban this source of home heating also.

    So ridiculous. The REAL culprit for childhood asthma is vaccinations. If you check out comparisons of vaxxed vs non-vaxxed communities, the differences in certain childhood disorders is astounding. ei asthma, SIdS, autism, allergies, etc.

    This has absolutely nothing to do with human health concerns. It's another ploy to destroy America on a new level.

    I think liberals have something like this in their brains except instead of flies, it catches bad ideas.
