From Gas to Electric Cooking: Studying Healthier Home Environments
CEVICA is funded by the California Energy Commission (CEC) and is a collaboration with Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL), UCSF, UCLA and the Association for Energy Affordability (AEA). The study is investigating the effects of interventions to reduce indoor pollutant exposures related to cooking with a natural gas stove and improve respiratory health of children with asthma. The study is replacing gas stoves with electric induction stoves in 100 homes of CARES participants from Fresno to Bakersfield. CCAC research staff make eight visits to the participant’s home over an eight month period to facilitate stove replacement and collect indoor air quality, appliance use, ventilation, cooking activity and asthma health measurements.
