The California Safe Drinking Water and' Toxic
Enforcement 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.

four of these substances, namely benzene, carbon
monoxide, formaldehyde and soot, caused

these substances can be minimized by venting with
an open window or using a ventilation fan or hood.
