I have recently become aware of the harmful effects of nitrogen oxide, a harmful pollutant caused by use of gas appliances in the home - stoves, oven, gas dryers, gas heaters, etc.
I've always used gas appliances, not knowing all these years, that they cause harmful indoor pollution, especially from the gases nitrogen oxide and carbon dioxide. The harmful effects to human health are inflammation of the bronchial tubes, the lungs, and the eyes.
I am particularly interested to know if the phlegm and coughing issues I experience are caused by these harmful gases. As I was researching these health issues, I also learned that nitrogen oxide also affects the eyes, but I have not found any specific information about the eyes.
It has occurred to me that perhaps there is a glaucoma connection which has probably never been studied. I'm wondering if the nitrogen oxide and CO2 might be a causative factor in glaucoma. It certainly would be worth investigating.
Any thoughts?
