Natural gas stoves and ovens can leak harmful chemicals inside homes even when they're not in use. The World Health Organization has said there’s no safe level of benzene exposure when it comes to cancer risk. Decades of research has suggested that gas stoves are a source of indoor air pollution. Another co-author of the study, Drew Michanowicz, previously identified 21 hazardous air pollutants from gas stoves and outdoor gas lines at Boston homes. Pregnant women, infants and young children may be particularly susceptible to adverse health outcomes from long-term benzene exposure, De Vizcaya Ruiz said.

CNN —It was a first for actor Ryan Reynolds, who allowed a video crew to capture his colonoscopy screening on camera to raise awareness of the increase in colon cancer diagnoses among people under 50. The new video, made in partnership with the Colorectal Cancer Alliance and another colon cancer awareness organization, Lead From Behind, did not show the colonoscopy procedure itself, for either Reynolds or McElhenney. “I have a pretty little colon,” Couric said with a sleepy chuckle as she watched the video projection from the scope inside her colon. “You didn’t put the scope in yet, did you?” asked Couric, whose husband had died from colon cancer at age 42 in 1998. However, like Reynolds and McElhenney, most people are more heavily sedated and rarely wake up during a colonoscopy.

Hong Kong (CNN) China has committed "serious human rights violations" against Uyghur Muslims in its northwestern region of Xinjiang , which may amount to "crimes against humanity" according to a long-awaited report released Wednesday by the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. Separately on Thursday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said China "rightfully rejects" the report, which it called "invalid and illegal." "The extent of arbitrary and discriminatory detention of members of Uyghur and other predominantly Muslim groups ... may constitute international crimes, in particular crimes against humanity," according to the report. What's nextThroughout the past four years, the international community within the UN has done little about the allegations of human rights abuses in Xinjiang. Omer Kanat, executive director of the Uyghur Human Rights Project, called the report a "game-changer for the international response to the Uyghur crisis."
