@coffeegeek any recommendations for a travel pourover or immersion setup? i bought a cafflano klassic a few years back and while it works and is a tidy package, i sort of hate it - open hopper, slow small pourover cone. is there anything integrated you recommend? separate grinder and aero press? have your tried anything from vssl? thanks.

“Indoor gas stove use for cooking is associated with an increased risk of current #asthma among children and is prevalent in 35% of households in the United States (US). We found that 12.7% of current childhood asthma in the US is attributable to gas stove use.”

Population Attributable Fraction of Gas Stoves and Childhood Asthma in the United States

Indoor gas stove use for cooking is associated with an increased risk of current asthma among children and is prevalent in 35% of households in the United States (US). The population-level implications of gas cooking are largely unrecognized. We quantified the population attributable fraction (PAF) for gas stove use and current childhood asthma in the US. Effect sizes previously reported by meta-analyses for current asthma (Odds Ratio = 1.34, 95% Confidence Interval (CI) = 1.12–1.57) were utilized in the PAF estimations. The proportion of children (<18 years old) exposed to gas stoves was obtained from the American Housing Survey for the US, and states with available data (n = 9). We found that 12.7% (95% CI = 6.3–19.3%) of current childhood asthma in the US is attributable to gas stove use. The proportion of childhood asthma that could be theoretically prevented if gas stove use was not present (e.g., state-specific PAFs) varied by state (Illinois = 21.1%; California = 20.1%; New York = 18.8%; Massachusetts = 15.4%; Pennsylvania = 13.5%). Our results quantify the US public health burden attributed to gas stove use and childhood asthma. Further research is needed to quantify the burden experienced at the county levels, as well as the impacts of implementing mitigation strategies through intervention studies.

By Joshua H. Davidson, Ilil Feiglin & 1 more. One-seat transit service provides essential connections to jobs and services. New spatial knowledge is needed regarding where such service is lacking and can be improved upon in future planning efforts.
