在新西兰,燃气炉和加热器每年造成3 200多儿童哮喘病例,耗资30多亿美元。 Gas stoves and heaters cause over 3,200 child asthma cases yearly in New Zealand, costing over $3 billion.

新西兰能源效率和节能管理局的一份新报告将燃气炉、烧柴炉和无漏热器造成的室内空气污染与每年3 200多例新的儿童哮喘病例和数百例住院治疗联系起来,相关医疗费用超过30亿美元。 A new report by New Zealand’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority links indoor air pollution from gas stoves, wood burners, and unflued heaters to over 3,200 new childhood asthma cases and hundreds of hospitalisations annually, with associated health costs exceeding $3 billion. 阿斯马和呼吸道基金会(NZ)和新西兰绿色建筑理事会敦促改善通风和逐步停用天然气器械,指出改用替代电器对儿童健康和长期经济节约带来风险。 The Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ and the New Zealand Green Building Council urge improved ventilation and a phase-out of gas appliances, citing risks to children’s health and long-term economic savings from switching to electric alternatives. 尽管科学证据可以追溯到几十年前,但一些制造商正在收回过去对煤气炉排放的确认,而工业团体则质疑卫生警告,引起对透明度的关切。 Despite scientific evidence dating back decades, some manufacturers are retracting past acknowledgements of gas stove emissions, while industry groups challenge health warnings, raising concerns about transparency. 调查结果突出表明,迫切需要改变政策,以保护公共健康,加速转向更安全、更可持续的家庭能源系统。 The findings highlight the urgent need for policy changes to protect public health and accelerate the shift to safer, more sustainable home energy systems.
