Scientists? Concerns about induction and gas cooktops

I'm weighing gas and induction and have a few questions:

Does anyone know if there's any solid research on the health effects of the magnetic fields created by induction cooktops? Having a background in human biology I'm concerned about it. After all, all of our biochemistry comes down to energy transfer - postives and negatives. (Same concern with MRIs.) I don't like the idea of interfering with it.

On the other hand, gas has the downside of potentially producing CO2 and CO -- not great for indoor air quality. Is this simply a matter of running the exhaust hood all the time while cooking?

OK, I'm a worry wart! I'd just like to know what's been researched. This probably isn't the best place to get answers to this, but since I was reading about induction here I thought I'd give it a try.

As if the choice of ranges isn't hard enough!
