Califemia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act

This 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 mono>Sde,

formaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.

Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these subst_saces can be

minimized fi_her by properlyvenfing the dryer to the outdoors..
