Gas Stoves: Health and Air Quality Impacts and Solutions

By Brady Seals & Andee Krasner

May 2020​

Gas stoves are likely exposing tens of millions of people to levels of indoor air pollution that would be illegal under outdoor air quality standards. Due to a lack of regulations, this problem is largely going undetected, making people more susceptible to respiratory health risks. That’s the finding of a new report released from Rocky Mountain Institute, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Mothers Out Front, and the Sierra Club.
​
The report, Health Effects from Gas Stove Pollution, summarizes two decades of health research, and finds that indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than the air outside, due in part to nitrogen dioxide emissions and other pollutants coming from gas stoves.

The report’s key findings include:
  • Gas stoves release several hazardous pollutants, notably nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide.
  • Homes with gas stoves have nitrogen dioxide concentrations 50 – 400% higher than homes with electric stoves. Exposure to nitrogen dioxide, even in the short term and at low levels, can cause respiratory effects.
  • Children are at increased risk from illnesses associated with gas stove pollution: living in a home with a gas stove increases their risk of having asthma by 42%.
  • Lower-income households may be at higher risk of exposure to gas stove pollution.
  • Ventilation is important to managing the immediate risk posed by gas stove pollution, the report finds that it cannot be relied upon as the sole mitigation strategy.

10 Year Strategy & Implementation Plan For a More Equitable NOLA

By HousingNOLA & Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance

December 2015

HousingNOLA was facilitated, and then later incubated by the Greater New Orleans Housing Alliance. Since 2015, HousingNOLA has grown into a platform to link community members and neighbors with policymakers, developers, and others who are shaping the face of New Orleans. As a result of this effort, HousingNOLA crafted the city’s first-ever 10-Year Strategy and Implementation Plan. 

With the implementation plan now in place, HousingNOLA continues to facilitate opportunities for:
  • local leaders to listen to community;
  • community to inform and educate policy makers on their housing needs; and
  • bringing diverse groups of people together to address the changes and challenges to affordable housing throughout New Orleans
