Study links gas stove use with higher asthma risk and says electric cooking may help
Researchers say replacing gas stoves with electric ones could reduce asthma attacks by limiting indoor pollution, alongside standard treatment.
A new study says households that switch from gas to electric cooking may lower the chance of asthma attacks by reducing exposure to indoor air pollutants. The research was published on Monday and focuses on how kitchen emissions can affect people with the condition.
According to the researchers, the change is not a cure for asthma, but it may work as an added way to cut triggers that can worsen symptoms. They said the benefit comes from reducing pollution released during cooking.
The findings suggest that a simple appliance change could support the medicines many patients already use every day. The study adds to evidence that indoor air quality can play a role in respiratory health.
The report was published by Euronews, which said the work points to exposure reduction as a practical step for people living with asthma.
