ACaliforniaSafeDrinkingWaterand ToxicEnforcementAct

fiis act requires the governor

of California to publish alistof

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 natural

gas or Ufuels.

Properly adjusted dryerswill

minimize incomplete combustion.

Exposure to these substances can

be minimized further by properly

venting the dryer to the outdoors.
