Apparently, the health consequences of air pollution inside UK homes have never been specified, although gas cookers produce contamination levels that would be illegal at the roadside actually being between twice and 5 times as dirty (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/may/05/gas-stoves-air-pollution-environment). If one really wanted to attempt to reduce health risk, there would have to be a much stronger regulation of emissions to which many people are routinely exposed. I suspect that it was just regarded as too problematical to raise this issue within homes.
