A new independent analysis published Thursday concluded that natural gas-powered stoves are 'not a significant determinant of residential indoor air quality.'
"It is the entire act of cooking, not just the natural gas, but other elements," he continued."What you're cooking, the method you use to cook. And, in addition, [existing] studies don't separate out other factors."
"For example, if there's smoking in the home, cigarette smoking, that has a far greater effect than cooking on asthma," Tormey said."Interestingly, some studies find that if a child is allergic to a pet in the house — a dog, cat, bird — that has a far greater effect on the occurrence of asthma than the act of cooking.
Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm promoted a study in January that linked gas stoves to childhood asthma. "This study is really just to address the misnomer that 'people may want it, maybe it cost less and it's easier to get, but you're killing people.' That's just not true," Dan Dunmoyer, CBIA's president and CEO, told Fox News Digital."This study really just points to the fact that there really is not a health impact based on the fuel source."
"We believe we're a market-driven industry," he said."So, 87% of our customers when surveyed want to have the option of what type of fuel they have in their home, whether it's gas or electric or hydrogen or solar or whatever they prefer. For us, it's a market-driven world we live in and if the consumer wants an option, we think we should give it to them.
