So there's stuff about this that confuses me. Are US gas stoves always burning gas for a pilot flame? Is that the issue? Are there no regulations about kitchen ventiation for gas installations? Is it less usual to have an active smoke extractor over your stove? Are all the kitchen walls in the US super gross as a result?
Gas stoves are on the way out as general climate change (and energy dependency) pushes away from gas anyway, and I haven't seen a functional gas oven in decades, but still, some of the language in the discussion and in this study seem to assume something different than what I expect when somebody says "gas stove".
Very old ones will have a permanent pilot and any home one in the last 20 plus years will have a electric start. Only ones still sold with the always on pilot will be industrial kitchen stoves which are required to have vent hoods above them and even those have probably changed since I worked with them.
