      Yeah gas is only “safe” with a full fume hood. Even then not as safe as they used to think, but most people don’t have real fume hoods in their home, or don’t even crack a window when they use the gas.

      We should at least use propane if we have to cook indoors with hydrocarbons

          Yeah many people don’t “shut off” their stoves. There’s a pilot light constantly emitting a little bit of benzene. The apartment unit I lived in for years had gas stoves with pilot lights in all the units

            Most gas stoves I’ve used have electric starters, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one with a pilot light. I’m in the US for reference, not sure how it is elsewhere.

        Wonder where EU city gas would be on a good - bad scale. I have never heard about the dangerosity of gas stoves except the obvious (it’s like burning) here in France and we cook & heat water with it.

        They also leak small amounts of methane when not in use so the kids would have to be running 24/7.
