The cancer risk is what, 0.9% greater over the lifespan? Or 30-60 folks in the entire USA?
We have gone so overboard with this prop 65 stuff we have warnings on coffee shops and everything. It’s lost all meaning. But someone’s resume is well padded.
Good point actually about the air ventilation. I was pretty meh about it unless something started to burn, but I recently bought a cheap air quality meter and measure spikes 2 rooms away. And just from normal cooking. Stoves, air fryer, ovens… Just a good habit to get into.
If you have an external venting range hood, use it all the time even if it’s just on low.
Recently installed a top-tier range hood and the company owner came out to meet me in their showroom. He pointed out stoves have gotten hotter over the past years, especially with wok cooking, so running the hood is essential when the stove is on if just to keep the electronics cool. This significantly extends the devices life.
