Gas stoves in Europe cause tens of thousands of deaths annually – Bloomberg.

Gas stoves may cause nearly 40,000 premature deaths annually

According to a study by researchers from Spain's University Jaume I, the use of gas stoves in European homes may lead to nearly 40,000 premature deaths annually. This high number of deaths is associated with emissions from gas stoves and has serious health consequences for the population, especially in regions where gas stoves are common.

Scientists claim that gas stoves are toxic from a public health perspective. The use of these stoves leads to the emission of nitrogen dioxide and particulates, which cause respiratory diseases. Additionally, gas stoves contribute to the emission of greenhouse gases, affecting climate change. Currently, the most significant issues with household pollution are observed in the UK, Romania, Poland, and Italy.

Meanwhile, natural gas prices in Europe have risen due to the war in the Middle East, which has led to market instability. The global conflict may impact the supply of heating fuel and cause even greater problems in the future.
