Stove Study in NYCHA Apartments – WE ACT for Environmental Justice has completed a 2-year pilot program and study on the impacts on indoor air pollution when transitioning from gas to induction stoves. The pilot, called Out of Gas, In with Justice was conducted at 1471 Watson Avenue in the Bronx, which is slated to be the New York City Housing Authority’s (NYCHA) first all-electric building conversion. WE ACT noted “The study is the first in the United States to monitor indoor air quality in homes transitioning from gas stoves to electric induction stoves with residents in-place in affordable housing…During WE ACT’s 10-month air quality monitoring period, we found households with induction stoves experienced a 35 percent reduction in daily nitrogen dioxide (NO2) concentrations compared to those using gas stoves, when controlling for temperature and apartment-level factors” Links to the study report and a 3 minute video can be found here.
