What Everyone Needs to Know About Electric Cooktops & Your Health
Switching to an electric cooktop has both practical and health-related benefits. While gas cooktops are popular, they can pose risks to your health, especially for sensitive groups such as people with asthma. Long-term exposure to the particulate matter emitted by gas stoves can increase respiratory vulnerability.
Health Risks Associated with Gas
Studies, including those by the UCLA Fielding School of Public Health, show that particulate matter in air pollution can make people more susceptible to respiratory illnesses. Gas cooktops emit chemicals like carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and formaldehyde, which may be harmful over time. In contrast, electric cooktops do not emit these potentially harmful substances.
Short-Term & Long-Term Solutions
Range hoods can help reduce exposure to gas stove emissions in the short term. By extracting particulate matter, they can improve air quality in your kitchen. However, effectiveness varies between models, and many people do not use them consistently due to noise or inconvenience. Proper ventilation, such as keeping windows open, is also important.
For long-term health safety, electric cooktops are the superior solution, eliminating the risks associated with gas entirely.
