🚨 BREAKING: Your Gas Stove May Be Releasing Cancer-Causing Chemicals! 🚨
🔥 Shocking New Study Reveals:
Gas stoves emit benzene—a known carcinogen—at levels that could increase cancer risk, especially for children (1.85x higher risk than adults!).
🔍 Key Findings from Stanford University:
✔ Measured benzene in 87 homes
✔ Highest risk in small apartments with poor ventilation
✔ Toxic fumes reach bedrooms (where we spend 1/3 of our lives!)
✔ Worst-case scenarios show 12x WHO’s "safe" cancer risk limit for kids
💡 Quick Fixes to Reduce Risk:
✅ Open windows while cooking
✅ Use exhaust fans or range hoods
✅ Switch to electric/induction if possible
👩🔬 Expert Warning:
"Combustion pollutants like benzene are a silent health threat—especially in poorly ventilated homes."
