I couldn't find the study from the publication mentioned in the article. I have a gas stove and I cook all the time. The stove is probably burning for upwards of 20 minutes every single day. Is that really a cause of asthma? If 20 minutes does it, wouldn't cooks (presumably with burning stoves for hours and hours 6 days a week) experience it far greater? Maybe professional kitchens have proper ventilation, so it doesn't matter. I'm assuming the original study would answer some of these questions.

Here's the original study: https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/20/1/75 https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/20/1/75 Though there have been several pointing out the problematic nature of stoves relating to indoor air quality.

The article repeatedly mentions childhood asthma specifically. Perhaps because children are more sensitive / smaller / closer to the source?

  "closer to the source?" In general, keeping small kids away from open flames is advisable...

    Their air intake is closer to the point of combustion than a fully grown adult (by height).

      Wouldn't the combustibles rise, though? Legit question - I don't know.

It’s been known for decades that gas stoves cause issues for childhood development both physically and mentally. The effect surely exists for adults too but most likely people don’t notice feeling foggy-headed as a serious issue in their lives. And if they do, they don’t know the source.

  Yes, and we know that mask use increases CO2 concentrations, especially for people with lower tidal volume (children) and in already moderately high classrooms... People aren't interested in the truth or alternative solutions. The people in power are interested in forcing their truth and solution on others, because of course we all think we know best. There is of course a policy/philosophical component beyond basic scientific data. Edit: why disagree?
