Recent studies have found that this information is entirely false and propaganda by the gas companies. It releases huge amounts of quite toxic stuff every second it is lit. More closely aligned with everyone in the house breathing second hand smoke from cigarettes continuously while it is being used. It has been all over the news these past few months.
Yeah I know. I have a gas leak/no2 detector because I had a leak once that the gas company was dilly dallying over. I've tested around my stove and it's relatively low compared to others I read about in those studies. But if the part that splits the gas before burning is dirty it can sit on there wrong and some gas escapes before burning and several other issues can lead to gas escaping. My point was that we'll maintained stoves are relatively ok. Those are what the gas companies do their testing on, new products, but those don't really exist in many homes.
