Stoves are a pretty big source of directly-inhaled NOx pollution that is pretty much unregulated. Turning on the vent can help if it vents outside (many do not) but often not by enough to bring things down to a won't-give-kids-asthma level.

How about building standards where gas stoves must have mandatory venting? Builders will of course say too much red tape, gas companies will donate to politicians and we'll be stuck here for 20 more years.

I think there’s already building code for hood vents. Ok for new construction and permitted remodels but what about the renters? Landlords need to take responsibility now, so that we don’t keep giving kids asthma. Maybe we need a statewide induction upgrade tax credit.

Or another thing is the CEC could regulate that it can’t be called “Natural Gas” anymore. Maybe if it’s called fossil-derived methane people won’t feel as comfortable burning it without ventilation? Probably not.
