"U.S. [Consumer Product Safety Commission] issues ‘Request for Information’ on safety of gas cookers"
EXCERPT
| quote | The request for information asks for input from consumers, manufacturers, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and researchers on chronic chemical hazards associated with the use of gas ranges.
The CPSC specify the sort of information they are after:- Relating to the scope and scale of potential chronic chemical hazards, exposures, and risks associated with gas range use.
- Relating to data sources and approaches CPSC should consider when completing an evaluation of chronic chemical hazards, exposures, and risks related to gas range use.
- Relating to any chronic chemical hazards, exposures, and risks associated with gas range use.

Stanford researchers partway into the largest and most scientific study to date of gas cooking ranges and their impacts on indoors air quality and human health.
The researchers are using sophisticated air monitoring devices inside of homes in ten different cities to study the indoors air pollution that drifts from room to room from gas-fired kitchen cooking ranges and ovens.
| quote | | There has been mounting scientific evidence of the health risks of gas stoves. One paper published late last year found that gas stoves may be linked to nearly 13 percent of childhood cases of asthma in the United States. Previous research shows that gas stoves have led to more exacerbated asthma symptoms as well. |
|
| quote | | The team’s results are preliminary, but they are in line with a body of scientific research that has linked gas stove emissions to harmful pollution affecting both climate change and public health. Previous research has also shown that emissions continue to be released when a stove is turned off because stoves can leak natural gas, which is mostly methane, a potent greenhouse gas. |
|
| quote | More than 60 percent of American households already use electricity to cook, and the Biden administration has proposed to expand gas stove efficiency rules, with an estimated $100 million in energy savings for people on top of the climate and health benefits. Several cities in mostly blue states have passed or considered bans on new gas hookups, effectively requiring electric cooking and heating in new construction, though some red states have moved to pre-empt such bans.
The Stanford team, which has already tested stoves in cities including San Francisco; Denver; Houston; and Melbourne, Australia, is heading to Washington next. It also plans to test in Europe and Asia. |

You wanna know what would REALLY improve health and electrical/gas energy efficiency in homes/apartments? Air flow sealing. In all my years in telecom, wallplates, any wire feeds into walls, ceiling light fixtures aren't sealed with some sort of fire stop or foam gasket.
A lot of new home construction fire stop all electrical/telecom lines.
When windows are open and wind blows through creating a type of vacuum/pressure change, old and new type insulation fibers/dust get sucked through all them cracks/holes into your living spaces. Floating in your breathing air also creating dust bunnies.
Spring/summer months when AC is working all that cold air is lost from them openings.
Winter months, windows closed, opening any inside outside door creates a vacuum/pressure change causing more dust to get sucked through them cracks. With heat escaping.
But no, it's ALWAYS the evil petroleum companies. So much US tax grant money given to egotistical paper degree carriers so they can live in one of many beach front property locations. The legal mafia political establishment have their next form of extortion lined up:
NWO

PriDEMONth lovers can't even cleanup their own cities and towns, yet they think they can fix others health and the global environment.

I wonder if these kinds of improvements to already constructed homes and apartments are currently being incentivized in different ways. Perhaps by the local gas and electric utility companies. Or through some already existing government program to incentivize home and apartment owners to have contractors come in and improve the insulation. I wonder if there is some funding for this in any of the bills that Congress has enacted during the Biden administration.

Some claim smoking will kill you. The idiots claim second hand, and third hand smoke will kill you.

Can we just admit that Democrats are extremely dishonest with their intentions? They obviously think the populace is completely idiotic.
First they say they don't want to ban stoves...
...then literally go through the process of banning stoves, stopping only because everyone loses their **** over it.
Then they continue to say they never had any intention of banning stoves... and they're quiet for a couple of months.
Then... suddenly, now they're looking to regulate standards for gas stoves that would make illegal to sell new, some 90% of the current stoves being sold on the market.
After a slew of Supreme Court rulings against the EPA... UNANIMOUS rulings from all Supreme Court members, including one just last week... the Biden administration is now quietly halting the regulation of gas stoves.
And all the news sites are saying things like... "What the freakout from the right about gas stoves was all about..." and then they emphasize that gas stoves are powered by "fossil fuels," as if that's supposed to trigger the Millennials into being like... OMG, we have to stop it.
Please... yes, the population is stupid, but it's not on the right... it's the left.

I suspect a few asbestos miners are still kicking as well. There are always exceptions to the rule.

I would argue that "the idiots" are the ones who pay good money to voluntarily suck known carcinogens into their lungs. Absolute madness!  [This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 06-05-2023).]

Like taking an untested, "quickly & hastily" develope injection of various lab made liquids by companies 'just looking to help' and not at all worried about profit and stock price? You may be onto something...
Are you saying native north American tribesmen are idiots? Racist! Racist! How DARE YOU question their culture and heritage.

There are programs like this AND THEY SURE AS HELL WEREN'T ENACTED BY THE P3D0 Briben Administration. Nor the Chief head of the snake marxipad Barry "no one is more Irish/KENYAN" Ohmama. Many utility companies have been offering this for decades. Even doing infrared scans of your home. But for the past 2 democrat admins, they found a way to syphon more tax payer money to go to their lobbyist donors that doesn't get used, but they collect a check though.
Legal mafia: US Federal Government.

I very much doubt that the tobacco utilized by the indigenous peoples of North America (pre-white man) even remotely resembles the processed commercial addictive concoction currently flogged by RJ Reynolds, Philip Morris, etc. You'd have us believe the natives were sucking on Marlboros when Columbus arrived.
They probably weren't slaves to it either... weren't lighting up 20 times a day, or more.[This message has been edited by Patrick (edited 06-05-2023).]
