Der Austausch eines Gasherds kann Asthmatikern ebenso helfen wie einige Medikamente. Die Umstellung auf Elektro hat „sehr große“ Auswirkungen, obwohl die Studie durch Trumps Kürzungen zurückgefahren wurde. 70 % weniger Krankenhauseinweisungen und arbeits- oder schulfreie Tage, wenn bei Menschen mit schlecht kontrolliertem Asthma der Gasherd durch einen Elektroherd ersetzt wurde.

Replacing gas stove can help asthmatics as much as some drugs, US experts find

Team in Ohio finds swapping to electric has ‘very large’ impact, despite study being scaled back by Trump cuts

[A US study](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2213219826005374) has found a 70% drop in hospital admissions and days off from work or school when people with poorly controlled asthma had their gas stove and hob replaced with electric.

Ohio’s publicly owned [MetroHealth](https://www.metrohealth.org/en/) began the study in December 2024 but funding was terminated early by the incoming Trump administration. [It had been designed](https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/epa-announces-more-17-million-metrohealth-systems-and-community-organizations) to investigate if replacing gas cooking improved asthma for 1,200 people living near Cleveland, Ohio.

[Prof Ash Sehgal](https://case.edu/medicine/pqhs/about/people/secondary-faculty/ashwini-sehgal) of Case Western Reserve University, the project’s leader, said: “We had completed the project at fewer than 100 households. As a result, over 1,100 households were unable to benefit. We also had to lay off about 20 project staff.”

The team finished the stove replacements that were under way and closed the project, but to the researchers’ surprise, the benefits could be clearly detected even in the scaled-down study of 72 homes.

Sehgal said: “We were surprised when we analysed the results and found a very large effect size. The improvements in asthma symptoms following stove change were similar to – or even greater than – those reported in clinical trials of commonly used asthma medications.”

They all know this. It’s all about the money from oil and gas lobbies.

The recent group of people who were pardoned for „modifying“ their cars actually were people who disabled the emission control for their cars. High temperature burning causes reactions between the Nitrogen and Oxygen in the air to form NO2 and NO3, which immediately reacts with water in the air to form very small droplets of Nitric acid in the air.

Pretty much all burning without effort to control temperature generates NOx.

Do these homes not have exhaust fans???

And right next door to us they’re building a 450 MW data center that will be powered by 12 natural gas turbines burning over 100 million cubic feet of natural gas every day, exhausting right above a city of 109,000 people.

But it’s safe, they say!

This appears only for more severe cases of asthma

Serious question, as I’ve had both and prefer gas. If I have a vent fan above my stove but not outside and also a window near by that I crack open. Is that enough to mitigate anything released by the gas range?
