Cali}rnia Safe Drinking Water and Toxic El_rcement Act
This act requires the governor of Calif_rnia 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 f_ur of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, f_rmaldehyde and soot, caused primarily by the incomplete combustion of naulral gas
or LP fi_els.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances can
be minimized further by properly venting the d_)_er to the outdoors.

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
