A new study found that 12.7 percent of all U.S. childhood #asthma cases — which account for roughly 650,000 kids — are caused by gas stoves. That percentage is even higher in states like Illinois, New York and California, where these kinds of stoves are more common.⁠ ⁠ Experts say this is due to the number of air pollutants that are released when these appliances are burning at such high temperatures. ⁠ ⁠ @yahoonews has more info on what can be done to lower or eliminate the asthma risk at the link in our bio.⁠ 📷: Getty⁠ ⁠
