Gas Stove Pollution: Health and Air Quality Impacts

Presented by Brady Seals of Rocky Mountain Institute and Andee Krasner of Greater Boston Physicians for Social Responsibility

We spend up to 90% of our time in buildings, breathing air that is likely more polluted than outdoor air. Decades of research shows that gas stoves can expose people to high levels of pollutants (including particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, formaldehyde, and carbon monoxide) inside the home, posing health risks.
In May, Rocky Mountain Institute, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Mothers Out Front, and Sierra Club published a report (Health Effects from Gas Stove Pollution) summarizing peer-reviewed research from the last twenty years into eight key findings. The report was featured in more than 150 original articles and reprinted stories, including high-profile coverage in The Guardian, POLITICO, Vox, Bloomberg, and Mother Jones.
Join lead authors Brady Seals and Andee Krasner to discuss the findings of the study, action being taken to protect public health from gas stove pollution, and recommendations for policymakers, healthcare organizations, individuals, and researchers. Designed for a New York audience, this webinar will include New York specific information and also address buildings’ impact on outdoor air pollution.
Please feel free to forward this webinar invitation to other stakeholders in New York who may be interested in learning more about this topic.
