CALIFORNIA 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
monoxide, 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 substances can be minimized further by
properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
