Survey reveals air quality issues from cooking with gas stoves, highlighting effective ventilation methods.

Homes averaged 38 minutes of pollution exposure per day exceeding health thresholds.
PM2.5 and NO2 were the most concerning pollutants, particularly in six homes averaging 73 minutes daily.
Using ventilation with a fan reduced pollutant presence significantly, cutting lifetime from 45 to 7 minutes.
