Replacing gas stove can help asthmatics as much as some drugs, US experts find

A U.S. study conducted by MetroHealth in Ohio found that replacing gas stoves and hobs with electric appliances led to a 70% reduction in hospital admissions and absences from work or school among individuals with poorly controlled asthma. Although the study was cut short due to funding cuts from the incoming Trump administration, preliminary results from 72 participating households showed significant improvements in asthma symptoms, comparable to or exceeding those achieved through common asthma medications. Participants experienced lower asthma scores, reduced reliance on reliever inhalers, and fewer nighttime awakenings due to asthma. Air pollution measurements in 44 homes revealed a 70% decrease in nitrogen dioxide levels. Researchers emphasized the importance of considering indoor air quality in housing upgrades, alongside energy efficiency and decarbonization efforts.
