>did you mean induction

I did! Thank you, don't know how convection ovens got in my head.

> gas emits many times the amount of PM2.5 as electric

You are right. Gas stoves are worse on all air quality metrics, and the actual food cooking is only a tiny source of PM.

In your experience is cooking on induction still the #1 poor air quality cause in your house?

Yes, but there isn't much competition anymore now that I've removed all combustion appliances, so only in the comparative sense. Nowadays the biggest air quality issues come from outdoors (pollen, smoke, NOx from nearby freeway).
