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.
Gasappliances 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 LPfuels.
Properly adjusted dryers will minimize incomplete combustion. Exposureto these substances can be
minimized further by properly venting the dryer to the outdoors.
