omg, is this for real? weird how recent conspiracy rumbling about gvmnt taking away gas stoves may have been covering for a real conspiracy. First I've read about benzene in stove fumes. Like cooking w/gas

From another news story posted here yesterday or the day before: vent hoods are not strong enough to get all the contaminants.

We don't expect them to vent all contaminants but to reduce the density so they don't cause significant harm.

If they don't do that, its a regulatory failure.
