Moreover, NG combustion exhibited higher NO<sub>2</sub>/NO emission ratios (∼3.3) than LPG (∼0.7) across all power settings, attributable to the lower flame temperature of NG. The environmental impact of residential stoves extends beyond indoor air, contributing significantly to outdoors. For instance, HONO emissions from residential stoves (3.1 ± 0.1 kt year<sup>–1</sup>) exceed those from gasoline vehicles (0.6 ± 0.2 kt year<sup>–1</sup>) in China. These findings highlight the significance of domestic gas stoves in atmospheric chemistry and provide key data for refining the HONO emission inventories.</p>","PeriodicalId":37,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Science & Technology Letters Environ.","volume":"13 5","pages":"720–727"},"PeriodicalIF":8.8,"publicationDate":"2026-05-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147865191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
