No, it does not. The body of research spanning multiple decades indicates that cooking with natural gas is safe and not a significant determinant of residential indoor air quality or associated health effects.I recently led an in-depth analysis of dozens of peer-reviewed studies and government assessments. We found scant evidence to support recent headlines suggesting a link between natural gas cooking and unhealthy indoor air quality.
It’s also worth noting that although there are air emissions associated with natural gas cooking and with electric stoves, researchers have consistently found that the long-term concentrations in real-life cooking scenarios are well below established health thresholds. After all, it’s not the mere presence of a substance that determines health risk, but rather the concentration of that substance and the frequency and duration of human exposure.
Nonetheless, health claims are rapidly becoming the basis for costly and restrictive limitations on natural gas appliances in regions all over the country. In addition to the body of research suggesting there is no basis for this added burden, we also found that many of the available studies are being inappropriately used to suggest health risks from gas stoves that have not been established.
Similarly, another recent study suggests that “indoor air pollution levels are often two to five times, and occasionally more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels.” However, that finding is based on a 1987 study that did not include any of the compounds released from natural gas combustion and does not even make reference to cooking or gas stoves.
