Gas stoves cause the death of about 40,000 people in Europe every year, writes Bloomberg. "Scientists at Spain's Jaume I University have found that nearly 40,000 premature deaths a year in the European Union and the UK are linked to breathing nitrogen oxide, which is caused by burning gas when cooking food indoors," the article said.
Experts have also found that the use of gas stoves can cause several thousand cases of asthma in children.
The journalists emphasized that about a third of households in Europe use a gas stove, and burning gas releases nitrogen oxide and particulate matter, which cause respiratory diseases and lead to premature death.
