WHAT TO DO IF YOU SMELL GAS: 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. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS 4
