The EpiSwitch PSE test is said to be able to detect prostate cancer with 94% accuracy, which the charity called a "significant improvement" on the most commonly used prostate-specific antigen test.

Iain Ross, executive chairman of Oxford BioDynamics, said more than nine out of 10 men who received a positive EpiSwitch PSE result would have prostate cancer confirmed.

But for the first time, a team of researchers from Stanford University and Oakland-based research institute PSE Healthy Energy published a nationwide estimate of the long-term health consequences associated with cooking with natural gas and propane stoves.

The preventive blackouts could happen anywhere if conditions are dangerous but would be a “tool of last resort,” PSE spokesperson Christina Donegan said.

The move by PSE is yet another sign of how the increased threat of wildfire is remaking life for Washingtonians.
