There isn't just one study, but rather, a growing body of evidence. This would be evident if you had actually read the meta-analysis that you cited - it includes 41 individual studies, many of which are single-city studies that arrived at the same conclusion.

More broadly, the Quartz article quotes experts who cite 4 decades of research about the the dangers of gas stoves.

The meta-analysis is based on NO levels in the home, not stove use. Primarily this relates to gas heating. I'm aware of what it says. I'm not sure how what you're saying relates to my points. It looks to me like this article is saying "Here's good research showing that NO is linked to a 40% higher rate of asthma. Stoves produce NO so they must cause a 40% higher rate of asthma." without a study connecting the two directly. And all of this based on a meta-analysis that doesn't attempt to control for a primary trigger of asthma.

Don't you understand? The manufacturing of new electric stoves to replace the billions of gas stoves currently in use will be good for the environment. Stop drawing attention to flaws in the article. /s
