Letters to the Editor: How risky are gas stoves? Leukemia in smokers may provide a clue (via latimesopinion )
, I wish she had offered a clearer picture of the risk associated with exposure to benzene from using a gas stove.
Leukemia is the most serious consequence of exposure to benzene. Since the exposure to benzene from gas stoves has been compared to that associated with second-hand smoke, we can look to smokers for a “worst-case scenario.”found that smokers had a 13% increased risk for leukemia overall, though the risk for certain subtypes was much higher.
The study referenced in Patel’s article would have us believe that using a gas stove can be as bad as second-hand smoking. If this is true, where are the lawsuits and other studies? I find the timing of this study to be too convenient considering the recent push, in some circles, to eliminate gas stoves.When I was planning a kitchen remodel in 2006, I wanted a gas stove. But there wasn’t a gas line where I needed it, and then I learned about induction.
Induction is more efficient than gas. It also cooks faster and throws out far less heat and no indoor pollutants. Today there are lots of choices for induction, including both cooktops and ranges.
