Switching from gas appliances to electric appliances does not give you cancer. In fact, electric appliances are generally considered safer than gas appliances when it comes to potential health risks.
Gas appliances, such as stoves and heaters, can pose certain health risks if they are not properly maintained or if there is inadequate ventilation. Incomplete combustion of gas can release carbon monoxide (CO) and other pollutants into the indoor air, which can be harmful if inhaled in high concentrations. Prolonged exposure to carbon monoxide can cause symptoms like headaches, dizziness, nausea, and in severe cases, it can even be fatal.
On the other hand, electric appliances, which rely on electricity for operation, do not produce carbon monoxide or other combustion byproducts. They generally have fewer safety concerns related to indoor air quality because they do not burn fuel. Electric stoves, for example, use electric heating elements or induction technology to cook food, eliminating the risk of gas leaks or carbon monoxide poisoning.
It's important to note that while switching to electric appliances can reduce the risks associated with gas appliances, there are other factors that can contribute to cancer, such as exposure to certain chemicals, pollutants, or lifestyle choices like smoking. However, the act of switching to electric appliances itself does not increase the risk of developing cancer.
