It's also not necessary. The particulate studies that measured gas stoves as being super dangerous were measured in the most impractical scenarios where the room was sealed off with plastic, and not at all reflective of basically anyone's real home.

Just buy a CO2 sensor and you'll see quickly what the issue with gas stoves is. I have one in front of my gas stove and it takes a lot longer even with ventilation / open windows that you'd think to get back to normal indoor levels.

Seriously. I always thought it was exaggeration until I bought a sensor as well. I was horrified.

A little CO2 isn't harmful at all. Are you thinking of CO?

CO2 is just an easy to measure thing but if CO2 is leaking in to the room, all the other pollutants are too. If your extraction setup was actually working properly you wouldn't notice any change in CO2 in the room.

CO2 is obviously a proxy here indeed, although it is harmful by itself.

This is not “a little CO2”. Buy or rent a sensor, go cooking without the hood set to the proper setting / a window cracked open for long enough, and you’ll be horrified.
