Renown LA Times recent headlines say cooking with gas can cause cancer, sama sama like breathing in second hand cig smoke. Makes perfect sense to me. Because u can always smell the gas, even when the fire is on. Not all the benzene is burnt up. And lagi worse, sinkies use gas in small confined HDB flats.
Gas stove cooking may be as bad as secondhand smoke exposure, study finds |
Cooking with gas-fired stoves can expose people to unsafe levels of the chemical benzene, posing roughly the same cancer risk as breathing in secondhand cigarette smoke, according to a new study by researchers from Stanford University and nonprofit PSE Health Energy. Researchers also found that benzene moves beyond kitchens, reaching unhealthy levels in other rooms. The toxic conditions were even worse in small homes, suggesting health risks may be worse for lower-income families with less square footage. |
