On a webinar hosted by PIRG, Commissioner Trumka talked about the concerns with gas stove pollution, and noted that many Americans are likely unaware of the risks. \"The vast majority of Americans have no idea that every time they cook they could be subjecting themselves and their loved ones to toxic chemicals,\" Trumka said. He went on to detail the CPSC's plan for addressing the issue, and announced that the agency would be opening a formal request for information in the spring, at which time they will solicit information from experts and the public about the health hazards associated with cooking with gas, and the possible policy solutions the agency can pursue.\r\n\r\nWatch Commission Trumka's full
