This act requires the governor of California to publish
a list of substances known to the state to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductNe 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,

incomplete combustion. Exposure to these substances
can be minimized further by properly venting the dryer
