Researchers found benzene levels comparable to those in secondhand smoke leaking from stoves in California.
Researchers with nonprofit policy research institute PSE Healthy Energy took samples from 159 residential gas stoves in 16 counties throughout California. They took samples from stoves fed by three major gas utilities in the state: San Diego Gas and Electric, Pacific Gas and Electric, and Southern California Gas Company. They found benzene in 99% of the samples.
The level of pollution from the stoves varied from sample to sample and from county to county, but Los Angeles had the highest level of indoor pollutants.
. “We found that just having a gas stove can create benzene concentrations in the kitchen comparable to secondhand smoke.”esearchers estimated that California stoves are leaking the same amount of benzene annually as 60,000 light-duty gas-powered cars, according to the study. But these emissions “are currently not included in any statewide inventories,” the abstract notes.
