Gas stoves produce NO2, not PM2.5.

Frying pans produce PM2.5, gas stove or no. I am talking about PM2.5. What is your point?

You link to a report about gas stoves not frying pans.

OH! Thank you for pointing out the error! I seem to have pasted the wrong link, and am not on my computer that I was doing the searching on before... please accept this short book chapter instead, though it is far more dry than the page I remember reading before.

The point is that your link seems to be almost entirely talking about something else (pollutants from burning gas inside, which is primarily NOx)! There is one passing mention of gas stoves producing some extra PM2.5 (which I expect will be different in composition to the PM2.5 produced in the pan) but all of the rest of it seems to be focused on the NOx
