Can you provide supporting facts of the statement I highlighted to be true? I am seriously interested educationally.EVERY gas appliance is going to leak a small amount of gas when off. That amount should, in all properly functioning use cases anyway, be negligible. EVERY gas appliance that uses an open flame will burn less than 100% of the gas being emitted. That percentage is probably listed somewhere in the specs of the appliance and should be negligible to health with proper ventilation.
If you have a poorly ventilated kitchen (no exterior stove venting) or a well-insulated/tight house with few air exchanges (like a passive house), the combustion byproducts and tiny gas leaks are a bigger deal. A passive house with a gas stove would be kind of oxymoronic, though. Poorly ventilated kitchens are certainly common and are known public health risks on which reputable academic sources publish research.
Thanks.
