  1. gas stoves leak. A lot of methane by Raymond Song
  2. presented by Destiny Moyer
  3. summary of the new york Times article.
  4. The new york Times article focuses on the research
  5. they have discovered over many years and many different studies
  6. to prove that cooking stoves like a harmful chemical called methane.
  7. The new york Times article goes on to
  8. explain how harmful this chemical can be when breathing
  9. in and the different levels of methane that
  10. are leaked into our everyday lives as well.
  11. Methane is one of the most pertinent gasses in the greenhouse gasses.
  12. This potent gas can lead to breathing problems and
  13. a variety of different medical risk as well.
  14. Not only is this potent gas harmful to humans,
  15. but can also be very toxic for animals to breathe in as well.
  16. Methane is a colorless and odorless gas
  17. that is also sometimes used in water heaters in the cars we drive every day.
  18. An earth scientist claims that more methane has
  19. been released into the air than what has been
  20. accounted for by different gas infrastructures leaving home appliances
  21. such as stoves one piece to their missing puzzle
  22. strength of the new york Times article.
  23. Talking about the different studies they have done that provide great step,
  24. two step details on how they conducted these studies.
  25. Researchers did a study in different homes by blocking off the kitchen
  26. that igniting the stove in one house and lighting the stove in another house.
  27. The study came to show that they both did the same amount of damage.
  28. The study has also shown how gas stoves are releasing the
  29. methane fume whether it is turned off or being used,
  30. leading us to have full time exposure to Putin it gas,
  31. knowing how something you use every day can affect you or the air
  32. we breathe tends to be a big factor when dealing with everyday living.
  33. Another point that was very well spoken about
  34. would be the amount of pollution methane is putting into
  35. to the outside air we breathe as well.
  36. Methane gasses can cause serious breathing issues.
  37. As previously stated,
  38. it is a very concerning that people are inhaling potent poisonous gasses in
  39. our atmosphere and this is something of public should be informed about.
  40. Once reading the new york Times article,
  41. they do a very good job on speaking about how polluting the methane gas is.
  42. The new york Times article speaks very well on how the age
  43. of cooking stove does not determine how much methane is being leaked.
  44. The new york Times article explains that whether old, new,
  45. expensive or inexpensive stoves all emit methane gasses.
  46. As a reader,
  47. you may have thought newer stoves would be up to technology with methane leaks
  48. and they would have already found a way to prevent this from happening.
  49. This is something found to be very important when reading about this topic.
  50. The new york Times article explains that methane is leaked no
  51. matter if the stove is turned off or is turned on.
  52. When researchers conducted their study in the
  53. different homes by blocking off the kitchen
  54. and igniting the stove in one house and lighting the stove in another house.
  55. The study showed that gas stoves are releasing this methane fumes,
  56. whether it is being turned off or whether we are using the stoves,
  57. this is a very strength
  58. that they have in explaining how the methane is being leaked
  59. in stepped a step detail
  60. weaknesses of the new york Times article.
  61. The new york Times article does not list of different health factors that
  62. go along with inhaling too much methane when listing these different factors.
  63. This would help people know what to look out for when cooking with
  64. methane gasses and to know how they have been inhaling too much methane.
  65. The article does not speak about the different
  66. symptoms or signs of inhaling too much methane.
  67. If the article had spoke about the different
  68. symptoms and signs of inhaling too much methane,
  69. people would then know what to look for when
  70. they have been cooking with methane all day.
  71. To know if they have been overly exposed to the methane gasses.
  72. The new york Times article could have included
  73. more detailed studies they have done to show the stoves
  74. are leaking methane when turned on and off though,
  75. they have done a research with the kitchens and blocking one house kitchen off
  76. and lighting that along with the kitchen and another house with very good details,
  77. they could have went into a further detail of how they,
  78. how the study showed that they were leaking methane when
  79. it was turned on and when it was turned off.
  80. The new york Times article could have spoke about how
  81. dangerous these fumes could be to our indoor animals.
  82. The new york Times article could have included whether the methane affects
  83. the way the animals breathe or their heart conditions,
  84. allowing us humans to know whether we should allow our animals inside
  85. or put them outside when cooking with our stoves every day.
  86. Lastly,
  87. the new york Times article could have spoke about the long term effects
  88. on a person's health condition after breathing in too much methane gasses.
  89. This would allow people to know the long term effects
  90. that they are causing themselves by cooking with methane gasses
  91. and what long term effects they will have after cooking
  92. with these gasses and know what they are costs from
  93. signs of gas stove's leaking methane,
  94. a persistent order that will not go away, no matter what
  95. presence of whistling or hissing noise while cooking with your stove
  96. house plants dying when cooking with the stove,
  97. different colored flames such as blue flames
  98. and the smell of gas. When the stove is turned off.
  99. Point,
  100. symptoms of methane gas leaks,
  101. difficulty breathing,
  102. having chest pains,
  103. feeling dizzy or lightheaded
  104. throughout. An eye irritation,
  105. feeling of nausea,
  106. feeling drowsy,
  107. slurred speech, vision impairments,
  108. headaches and mood changes are all different symptoms.
  109. You can look at when
  110. over exposure to methane gas happens to your body,
  111. How to detect if your stove is leaking methane.
  112. Check for a rotten egg smell or for sulfur sulfur smell in your home.
  113. Listen for hissing or whistling noises coming from your stove.
  114. When turned off or wind cooking with your stove,
  115. check the color of the flame when lighting your stove. If the flame from your stove
  116. is blue, that means you are leaking methane,
  117. conduct a soapy water, test a soapy water,
  118. test what you would do was mix a teaspoon of soap and water
  119. and spray or put the solution on the area that you suspect is leaking.
  120. If bubbles start to show up, it is an indication that you have a leak of methane.
  121. These are different ways to detect if your stove
  122. is leaking methane or if your stove is not
  123. below. I have attached a picture of a methane detector.
  124. This is a methane detector that can be used to
  125. show how much methane your stove can be leaking.
  126. You can play the placeless around where you believe the leaking is occurring and it
  127. will be able to tell you if that is actually where methane is coming from.
  128. Below is a link that I have attached on where I got the picture
  129. from and where I have received information on how to use a methane detector.
  130. Below is a list of references I used for my new york times article,
  131. each giving a great amount of detail to conduct my new york times article
  132. paper and my new york Times article, Power Point to show you guys today.
  133. This is page one of my references.
  134. This is a page and my references continued that I use for my
  135. project paper in my Project Power Point, to show you guys today.
  136. That is my power point on how
  137. gas stoves leak. A lot of methane.
  138. Thank you guys for listening and thank you guys
  139. for watching the Power Point that I put together.
