The common kitchen appliance plays an outsized role in exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a toxic air pollutant.

Pollution from gas stoves accounts for more than half of some [US] Americans’ total exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2), a toxin linked to asthma, a study in the academic journal PNAS Nexus concludes. The findings, published this month, provide the first nationwide, community-level estimates of residential NO2 exposure.

    Do they make induction wok burners where you can constantly toss the wok while the induction element still works? Last I saw, the induction wok has to be stationary to heat.

    I have electric, would prefer induction, and the only case I’d really want gas is to quickly char peppers directly over the flame.
