Ctifornia
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 burners, indicated by a
bluish rather than a yellow

will minimize
incomplete combustion. Exposure to these
substances can be minimized by venting with an
