More recently, a 2022 study by Stanford researchers found that nitrogen dioxide emissions from certain gas burners and ovens, within just a few minutes of operation, exceed the EPA outdoor air standard. Yet another 2022 study , conducted by researchers at the Harvard T.H. The situation is even worse in some states.
