Is there some different gas used in the US? Here in the EU lots of countries rely on gas for cooking and/or heating and I have never ever heard anything like it could be harmful (except fire hazard, so we have a ton of regulations and setup stuff to prevent that).

Not saying it isn't bad but usually in the EU we pick on anything even slightly dangerous.

We have alot of rules wrt. ventilation for gas appliances in the EU. Gas boilers for example have to vent outside away from doorways.. I'm not sure if gas cookers need hoods these days or extractor fans are enough.

Edit: Ahh no, just venting.. you must have an openable outside door or window, or equivalent ventilation.
