The California Safe Drinking
Water and Toxic Enforcement Act
requires the Governor of California
to publish a list of substances
known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive
harm and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential
exposure to such substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor
exposure to four of these substances,
namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formaldehyde and soot, caused
primarily by the incomplete
combustion of
gas or
fuels. Properly adjusted dryers will
minimize incomplete combustion.
Exposure to these substances can
be minimized further by properly
venting the dryers to the outdoors.
