Gas stove ignites cancer concern

Paul Reese, a University of the West Indies professor emeritus of bioorganic chemistry, has indicated that “it would be useful to monitor the gases produced in local industry and in the home, and share the results of such an investigation with the regulators and general public”. The professor said that the country should be concerned about the effects of products of incomplete combustion of propane and/or butane fuels in areas with poor ventilation.
