1 - Gas ovens go together with gas stoves, it goes without saying. I don't think anybody's using an electric range with a gas oven. Electric ranges go with electric ovens
2 - Frying chicken results in some particulate matter (PM10) but that doesn't seem to be a global warming concern or an asthma concern, and it settles out of the air quickly. But if you have an "industrial exhaust" as you say, all the oil gets sucked out anyways so it doesn't even matter
3 - Poorly designed ventilation is precisely where switching to electric has the biggest benefit, not the smallest, since cooking is the #1 source of indoor particulate matter and CO2
4 - This is why lots of people clean with gentler cleaning products. But they don't seem to contribute to global warming or asthma in the same way from what we know, and most people aren't using crazy harsh cleaning chemicals multiple times daily the way they do the stove, so it seems like a much smaller issue
