I've had similar issues, but since I also experienced it near electric stoves it wouldn't be caused by the burning of gas.
I've hypothesized it is caused by overheating cooking oil.
Before induction cooking, gas stoves generally used to be able to provide more heat than electric ones. So its easier to cook hotter and burn more oil with those stoves.
FWIW, I was seeing it only with boiling pasta and vegetables in stainless pot on a newish gas stove. (Sometimes draining and then heating with olive oil in it, but on a lower temp.)
Since I couldn't find an affordable consumer device, I build one myself.
Levels in my living room never really exceed acceptable levels. My house is not airtight and constantly mechanically ventilated.
They have to pry my gas stove from my cold, dead hands. I refuse to accept indoor air quality deteriorates that much when using a proper hood (that means turning it on before igniting your stove).
I believe to remember I glanced over some of the articles mentioned and I seem to recall they were about poorly ventilated situations without proper hoods.
That doesn't say much about air quality WITH hoods in general, let alone my situation in particular. Incidentally I was already planning to build a little sensor array, specifically for the kitchen, that would would measure some of the nasty stuff.
But even if I would measure that stove is slowly killing me, I wont give it up. Just like I won't give up my coal fired barbecue.
With respect to a gas stove I've felt very similarly (and still have one), but after seeing a few induction cooktops and how nice they are I'll be looking at one for our next house.
Yeah, I used to prefer gas until we bought an all-electric house. The heating rate on the induction range that came with the house is bananas.
The burners go from 1-10 by halves and on 10 the big burner will boil a big-ass stockpot of water in what feels like a minute or two, and that's all I can use it for. 10 is literally too hot to sear meat, it will char it (and set off the smoke detector, apropos of the thread - it's a townhouse so of course the kitchen is right at the fucking center of mass of the house so the other rooms can have better light). It's also super-responsive and lets me get great heat control, if I go from 5.5 to 4 I can see what's happening in the pan change almost instantly. I never had a really fancy gas stove, but the ones I had were certainly not this responsive (although they sure beat the many crappy electric stoves I had).
It adjusts with buttons instead of a knob, which I kind of hate (a lot harder to work while cooking) but obviously that's not a comment on the heating technology.
The induction stoves I've had the "pleasure" of working with were all very efficient to get water boiling. For every other cooking technique they were terrible. Perhaps I had bad luck with the models I encountered. Maybe it was caused by the pans or maybe it is just getting used to it. But the fact they're almost exclusively controlled by buttons is absolutely a deal breaker for me. I can't handle the stress of 4 pans and pots with buttons not responding because of a smudge somewhere or just because f*k me. Not to mention the models that have 2 sets of controls for 4 burners, where you have to select the appropriate burner first. Those abominations have to be designed by someone who only boils eggs or cooks ramen or hates cooking in general.
No really. The modern greenhouses act as little power plants, burning gas and generate electricity for the grid when demand is high, or act as a sink with electric heat when demand is low.
1. It was the stuff for export (I'm not based in the Netherlands)
2. My anecdotal evidence is restricted only to the farms I visited which in my opinion tend to represent the typical/average medium to large scale farms catering to the usual meat suppliers you'll find in local supermarket or big butcher/meat chains regardless of country.
We have the top agri/bio university in the world here too which I assume is a massive plus and an area which is basically Silicon Valley for agri/bio tech (where I live).
It's clickbait, that's why they don't put 'the Netherlands' in the headline. It's better to edit a headline when submitting an otherwise interesting story to HN than to perpetuate this sort of marketing-speak.
Those same large agri companies are working behind the scenes to stir up the farmer protests, hiding behind likable small family farmers. See some recent TV commercials to positively frame farmers' image. But many of those farmers are not a small family business anymore, they are very profitable businesses and the owners want to continue making those profits, increasing emissions which are already too high for our very small country.
“But many of those farmers are not a small family business anymore, they are very profitable businesses…”
My wife is a small business owner and it is rough as hell. Directing shit at the farmers who actually managed to be successful and grow their operations seems really stupid.
Which is another indication you are not very knowledgeable on the subject. ADD/ADHD are disorders on their own. It is a common comorbidity for people on the spectrum, but it's certainly not part of the spectrum.
Like it or not, we aren't talking hifi and you may not love their specific coloration but the audio quality per form factor and price of bose bluetooth speakers is quite great compared to alternatives. I mean there are certainly better ones obviously but my soundlink revolve and my soundlink micro are much better than the models from other brands they replaced. Reliability however may be a different thing but I have not treated them very kindly to say the least.
I also bought a Bose noise cancelling headset 2y ago and I would say it is quite good, I think the only great alternatives in the same price range are from Sony, the Yamaha, Apple ones are much more expensive. Maybe other decent alternatives would be from technics or sennheiser?
In my opinion Bose performs only slightly better than the cheapest crap and only has a moderately better build quality, yet at a (near) premium price range. I think their products are barely worth half the money they ask for it.
But this is my opinion on Bose in general and not this specific product range. Personally I cant stand Bluetooth audio for anything else but background noise. I'm still amazed how a 192kbs mp3 can sound better with 5 euro earplugs compared to a 200+ euro Bluetooth headset with aptX support.
Eventually it doesn't matter at all, if you are happy with their product(s) and consider it money well spend, then who am I to judge.

The most grating "feature" of Bluetooth is having headphones that support fancy AAC/AptX codecs, but as soon as you want to make use of its microphone it dumps the connection right back to A2DP.
That alarm is available on the more decent models.
There are also stickers for inside your fridge that can indicate the temperature. There is also a variant for specific temperatures, like 0, 5 or 7 degrees, that colorize if the temperature has risen, giving a (non-reversible) indication your fridge has been too warm.
