Kerim Friedman 傅可恩<p>With more and more evidence (see comments) of the negative health effects of <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/gasStoves" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gasStoves</span></a> we bought an induction coil so we could do more cooking that way.

Kerim Friedman 傅可恩<p>More and more research about the dangers of nitrogen dioxide from gas stoves. I can&#39;t help but wonder if this is one of the reasons that Taiwanese women (including nonsmokers) have such high levels of lung cancer? Moreover, it seems that mechanical ventilation doesn&#39;t do much to help reduce <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NO2" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NO2</span></a> pollution in the home. </p><p>Links to follow.</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/gasStoves" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>gasStoves</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/cleanAir" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>cleanAir</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/Taiwan" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Taiwan</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/NitrogenDioxide" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>NitrogenDioxide</span></a></p>
