In a highschool chemistry class I smelled a benzene compound once, it was sweet like an artificial vanilla candle.
Sucks that it's bad for you and that it's everywhere, from gas stations to second hand smoke to inside the home.
Always be sure to use the ventilation hood when cooking.
From the article..
I read that but I'm putting in to use the exhaust fan no matter whether you use electric, induction or gas, it's a good habit. As another person replying pointed out, conversions to gas stove can sometimes skimp out on upgrading the range hood fan to achieve the higher ventilation needs. The fan combined with open windows can improve ventilation even if not perfect.
The problem is gas stoves, to be operated safety, require a higher powered fan than is often found in your average home, and folks doing a retrofit might not know that or might cheap out despite it often being required by local building codes.
