They came for your gas car, your recycled human hair & now — your lunch?! Study: Cooking a grilled cheese sandwich on a gas stove is MORE toxic than breathing in car exhaust fumes

UK Daily Mail:

The natural gas stove in your home could be emitting more harmful nanoparticles than a gasoline-powered car’s tailpipe, according to new research. Clouds of these tiny particles, also known as soot, are between one and three nanometers each. … 

Researchers found cooking a simple grilled cheese sandwich may expose residents to as many as 10 million nanocluster aerosols per cubic nanometer, compared to the up to around 1 million released by cars near a busy street. The study was published Tuesday in the journal PNAS Nexus.  … 

The news comes about one year after some officials at the US Consumer Product Safety Commission considered banning gas stoves –  a move that never materialized but became a political lightning rod. … The nanocluster aerosol coming from the gas stove was also found to easily mix with larger particles entering the air from butter, oil or whatever else is cooking on the gas stove. … Moving forward, we need to think about how to reduce our exposure to all types of indoor air pollutants,’ he continued. ‘Based on our new data, we’d advise that nanocluster aerosol be considered as a distinct air pollutant category.’
