NO₂ Exposure Rises with Propane and Gas Stove Usage
This chart shows the relationship between gas and propane stove use and long-term NO₂ exposure across ZIP3 areas. Each point represents a population-weighted average. Areas with higher stove use tend to have higher NO₂ exposure.
A scatterplot showing the relationship between gas and propane stove use (x-axis) and long-term residential NO₂ exposure (y-axis) across U.S. ZIP3 areas. Each point represents one ZIP3 region. The chart shows a positive trend: as gas and propane stove use increases, NO₂ exposure also tends to rise, though with wide variation.
