Spanish study estimates 40,000 annual premature deaths in Europe linked to gas stoves' nitrogen dioxide emissions.

A study by Jaume I University in Spain estimates that gas stoves in Europe contribute to about 40,000 premature deaths annually, primarily due to nitrogen dioxide emissions. This figure includes over 36,000 deaths in the EU and nearly 4,000 in the UK. The research highlights serious indoor air quality concerns and links gas stoves to pediatric asthma cases. The European Public Health Alliance urges a phase-out of gas appliances and improved emissions standards.
