Evidence of nonzero emissions was identified for at least 41 TACs released through gas leakage and combustion pathways. Formaldehyde and benzene were the only compounds with sufficient data for quantitative characterization, with EFs varying by up to two orders of magnitude across studies and operating conditions. The literature was heavily concentrated on cooking stoves, while heaters, water heaters, and dryers were rarely studied. Emerging evidence suggests methane and carbon monoxide measurements may support inference-based estimation of leakage- and combustion-related TAC emissions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Summary<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Gas appliances emit multiple carcinogenic and respiratory toxicants through both leakage and combustion.
