It doesn't feel like you're trying to have a good faith discussion. There's no point in my restating what the linked article says nor multiple of the other sources provided all throughout this thread.

I’m truly interested in data about the relative quantity of no2 produced by stovetop vs other sources. If that information is contained in the featured article I missed it.

My understanding, from something I’d read previously, was that no2 was not a big concern, and that amongst sources of no2, gas ranges were less of an issue than heaters and water heaters.

What I know is that no2 is higher outdoors. I just wonder if the danger isn’t being overstated, relative to other dangers.

For the record I favor a law requiring venting in rental units and new home construction. I wish that was what got passed because it seems like the health impacts of nonventilated cooktops of any sort, including electric, is a larger concern.
