SAFETY NOTICE
●

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

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by venting with an
open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
