Abstract:Gas and propane stoves emit nitrogen dioxide (NO

) pollution indoors, but the exposures of different U.S. demographic groups are unknown. We estimate NO

exposure and health consequences using emissions and concentration measurements from >100 homes, a room-specific indoor air quality model, epidemiological risk parameters, and statistical sampling of housing characteristics and occupant behavior. Gas and propane stoves increase long-term NO
