What is the fuss about health and gas stoves?


What is the fuss about health and gas stoves?

Find out on July 18, 2023 at 7pm at Third Place Commons 17171 Bothell Way NE, Lake Forest Park.

Recently there has been a lot of discussion on TV, online and in the newspaper about gas stoves. 
  • Are they a risk to your health? 
  • Do gas stoves increase the potential for childhood asthma? 
  • Are jurisdictions going to take away gas stoves?

Dr. Mark Vossler with Physicians for Social Responsibility will clear the air. He will share information about the health risks from gas stoves for adults and especially children. The presentation will look at the advantages of electrifying not just your stove but also other parts of your home.

Gary Hawkey, a Lake Forest Park resident, will provide a demonstration of cooking on an inductions stove.

This is the first of a summer series on climate-friendly homes sponsored by the cities of Lake Forest Park, Shoreline and Kenmore.

Save the dates!
  • August 17, at 6pm at the Hanger at Town Center (6728 NE 181st Street, Kenmore) there will be a presentation on solar installation.
  • September 19, 7pm at Shoreline City Hall (17500 Midvale Ave N, Shoreline) there will be a presentation on heat pumps.

  1. Don't believe the propaganda. In a well ventilated home, a gas stove poses almost no health risk beyond the risk of fire from an open flame.

    And make no mistake, state and local politicians definitely are trying to come for your gas stove, just like they're trying to come for your gas furnace and your gas car. The decarbonization movement wants to make you wholly dependent upon your electric utility, even one like Seattle City Light which has terrible cost control and is one of the largest revenue generators for the city of Seattle.

  2. No bias in this presentation, I'm sure.
