This peer-reviewed study quantifies the health risks associated with indoor nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) emissions from gas and propane stoves in U.S. homes. Using modeling and air quality simulations, the research links these emissions to 200,000 pediatric asthma cases and up to 19,000 annual adult deaths, disproportionately affecting low-income and minority households. The paper recommends increased public awareness, improved ventilation, and a shift to electric stoves to address indoor air quality risks.
