A study reveals that gas stove emissions significantly increase cancer risk, especially in children. Research conducted by a Stanford-led team indicates benzene levels emitted by high-usage gas stoves can lead to a cancer risk up to 16 times greater for kids compared to adults. Public health implications are severe, particularly in non-ventilated apartments where these stoves are frequently used. The study estimates that 16 to 69 extra leukemia cases could emerge annually in the U.S. due to benzene exposure from these widely used appliances, indicating a pressing health crisis.
The findings from the study indicate that gas stove emissions significantly increase cancer risk, particularly for children, who face up to 16 times greater risk than adults.
The researchers estimate that around 16 to 69 extra cases of leukemia could arise each year due to elevated benzene exposure from gas stoves, indicating a potential public health issue.
