“The study found that benzene emitted from gas stoves migrated throughout homes, in some cases elevating levels of the carcinogen in bedrooms hours after the stove was turned off.”
Wow never thought about that and realized it was an issue. From the article it sounds like if you have a hood vented to the outside it can help to lower benzene emissions in the house. Moving forward I’m going to run my vented hood before I start the stove. There should really be more transparent info on this when you buy a gas range.

I open my kitchen window every time I cook now. Hoping that does something.
