🆕 study out. Take a 👀, it's short: 4 pages. We found that 12.7% of childhood current asthma in the US can be attributable to gas stove use. @RMIBuildings@RockyMtnInst@Sydney_Uni@EinsteinMed@IJERPH_MDPImdpi.com/1660-4601/20/1…
In some states, that number is much higher. We had census data for 9 states. #Illinois was the highest at 21.1%. State PAF numbers depend entirely on how much gas is used by households in that state. In IL almost 80% of households w/ children cook with gas - compared to FL (9%)

🚀 Launch day! New study from @HarvardCCHANGE: burning gas, biomass, & wood now has MORE negative health impacts than coal in many states. 1st study to inventory health impacts of each fuel burned at stationary sources over last 10 years. To protect health, we must #ProtectOurAir
Air pollution costs us. It is no longer mostly from coal. In 2017, air pollution from buildings, power plants, industrial boilers, and other industries were responsible for an estimated 48-64,000 early deaths. Between 70 -77% are from burning gas, wood, biomass.😲
