    Yeah many people don’t “shut off” their stoves. There’s a pilot light constantly emitting a little bit of benzene. The apartment unit I lived in for years had gas stoves with pilot lights in all the units

      Most gas stoves I’ve used have electric starters, I don’t know that I’ve ever seen one with a pilot light. I’m in the US for reference, not sure how it is elsewhere.

        The only pilot lights I’ve ever seen were on massive professional restaurant ranges with big 24/7 running fumehoods so…

          Your average at home stove without a pilot light leaks around ~20% of the benzene as a burner on high.

            I feel like you are trying to convince me but I already agreed with you when I got here

        I had one when we lived in a house with propane. Anyway, the oven had a pilot flame but the burners had electric igniters.
