\nMore than 3,000 individuals, 205 health professionals, and 139 organizations respond to Consumer Product Safety Commission request for information urging federal action to mitigate risk, as concerns about gas stove pollution grow<\/i><\/p>\n

WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Thousands of Americans and a diverse range of organizations are calling for the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to take concrete steps to protect the public from gas stove pollution, as health bodies across the globe mark World Asthma Day.<\/p>\n

\nMore than 3,000 individuals, 205 health professionals, and 139 organizations have submitted comments expressing concern over gas stove pollution in response to the CPSC\u2019s request for information (RFI) about chronic hazards associated with gas ranges. A recent peer-reviewed study<\/a> found that nearly 13% of childhood asthma in the U.S. can be attributed to gas stove pollution.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cThe bottom line is that consumers deserve to know about health risks associated with products,\u201d said Matt Casale, director of environment campaigns, U.S. Public Interest Research Group Education Fund. \u201cThe CPSC investigation into gas stove pollution is a step in the right direction, and what we need is action \u2013 because action on this issue is 40 years overdue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nRespondents to the RFI<\/a> include public health organizations, restaurants and chefs, scientists, parents and caregivers, public housing advocates and environmental justice interests. Data shows that gas-burning stoves fill homes with nitrogen dioxide (NO2<\/sub>), carbon monoxide, formaldehyde and particulate matter. A 2013 meta-analysis<\/a> found children living in a home with a gas stove are 42% more likely to develop asthma symptoms, and 24% more likely to develop asthma than those in homes without gas stoves.<\/p>\n

\n\u201cAsthma is a serious, chronic health condition that can be deadly,\u201d noted Barbara Gottlieb, director of the environment and health program, Physicians for Social Responsibility. \u201cMany people are now learning for the first time that the air we breathe indoors can be unhealthy due to gas stove pollution. We\u2019re now counting on the CPSC to provide information and solutions, because the public will no longer settle for radio silence on this issue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nThe CPSC put forth its RFI nearly 40 years after the independent, federal agency originally flagged potential health dangers from gas stove pollution. Since that time, scientists have flagged more concerns. Recent research<\/a> indicates gas stoves leak dozens of hazardous chemicals and carcinogens, including benzene – even when off.<\/p>\n

\nConsumer advocates<\/a> responding to the RFI are recommending the Commission should take the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \nPromulgate mandatory performance standards for new gas ranges and range hoods that reduce risk by increasing ventilation and\/or alerting users to unsafe concentrations of pollutants;<\/li>\n
  2. \nRequire warning labels on gas ranges;<\/li>\n
  3. \nCreate accessible public education materials about the emissions from gas ranges and effective ways to reduce or eliminate them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \n\u201cThe large-scale response to CPSC\u2019s RFI just shows that we need common sense steps without delay to protect our health from gas stove pollution,\u201d Gottlieb added.<\/p>\n

    \nThe CPSC\u2019s request for information closes on May 8. Until then, the public and experts alike have the opportunity to submit comments<\/a> directly to the federal agency or sign the petition<\/a> organized by PIRG.<\/p>\n
