CALIFORNIA SAFE DRINKING
WATER AND TOXIC
ENFORCEMENT ACT
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 birth defects or other reproductive harm and requires businesses to
warn customers of potential exposure to such substances.
WARNING
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of these substances,
namely, carbon monoxide, formaldehyde, and soot, caused primarily by the
incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels. Properly adjusted burners,
indicated by a bluish rather than yellow flame, will minimize incomplete
combustion. Exposure to these substances can be minimized by venting with
an open window or by using a ventilation fan or hood.
