California Safe Drinking Water and ToxicEnforcement Act
This act requires the governor of California to publish a list of substances known to the state to cause cancel;
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,
fbrmaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of"natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
