T is act requires t e governor of California to publis a list of substances known to t e state to cause cancer, birt
defects or ot er reproductive arm and requires businesses to warn customers of potential exposure to suc
substances.
Gas appliances can cause minor exposure to four of t ese substances, namely benzene, carbon monoxide,
formalde yde and soot, caused primarily by t e incomplete combustion of natural gas or LP fuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposure to t ese substances can be minimized
furt er by properly venting t e dryer to t e outdoors.
