To better educate the public, Beyond Toxics compiled a literature review of gas stove pollutants and their health effects. We also employed a specialized camera capable of visualizing gas stove pollutants, and utilized two consumer grade air quality monitors.

We found that gas stoves produce acutely hazardous and chronically harmful levels of nitrogen dioxide inside the home. Emissions from gas stoves also raise levels of volatile organic compounds and carbon monoxide above background levels.
