and requires businesses to warn customers
of potential exposm'e to such substances.
, Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to
four of these substances, namely benzene,
carbon monoxide, flmnaldehyde and soot,
caused primarily by the incomplete
combustion of natm'al gas or I,P tuels.
Properly ac{justed burners, indicated by
a bhfish rather than a yellow flame, will
minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure
to these substances can be minimized further
by venting with all open window or using the
