If it is a gas dryer, venting it indoors could kill you. The
products of combustion are CO (Carbon Monoxide) and
CO2 (Carbon Dioxide). The first is a deadly poison
caused by inefficient combustion (not enough Oxygen).
Nonsense! The byproducts of proper gas combustion is CO2 and water
vapor. CO is not an issue unless something is wrong with the dryer.
Isn't that the point?
Nope.
You can't be certain something won't go wrong with the dryer
You can be certain it wont be producing
CO, they dont go wrong like that.
Neither do unvented natural gas heaters either.
and it might end up being too late by the
time you find that out, or your heirs find out...
It doesnt work like that. You dont get people
dying like that with unvented natural gas heaters.
Really? I guess the EPA, CPSC and the
American Lung Assn. really don't have a clue...
Nope, just you.

"How many people are unintentionally poisoned by CO?
Every year, over 200 people in the United States
die from CO produced by fuel-burning appliances
(furnaces, ranges, water heaters, room heaters).
In fact none of those are from unvented natural gas
room heaters, which might just be why they are allowed.
Others die from CO produced while burning charcoal inside
a home, garage, vehicle or tent. Still others die from CO
produced by cars left running in attached garages.
Completely irrelevant to what was actually being discussed.
Several thousand people go to hospital emergency
rooms for treatment for CO poisoning. "
Not from unvented natural gas room heaters they dont.
Never use gas appliances such as ranges,
ovens, or clothes dryers for heating your home.
Mindless pig ignorant silly stuff that doesnt explain
why unvented natural gas room heaters work fine.
Never operate unvented fuel-burning appliances in any room with
closed doors or windows or in any room where people are sleeping.

" Carbon monoxide (CO) is produced whenever any fuel
such as gas, oil, kerosene, wood, or charcoal is burned.
General waffle. Pity about unvented natural gas room heaters.
If appliances that burn fuel are maintained and used properly,
the amount of CO produced is usually not hazardous. However,
if appliances are not working properly or are used incorrectly,
dangerous levels of CO can result.
But in practice that doesnt actually happen
with unvented natural gas room heaters.
Hundreds of people die accidentally every year from CO poisoning
caused by malfunctioning or improperly used fuel-burning appliances.
But in practice that doesnt actually happen
with unvented natural gas room heaters.
Even more die from CO produced by idling cars.
Irrelevant to what is being discussed.
Fetuses, infants, elderly people, and people with
anemia or with a history of heart or respiratory
disease can be especially susceptible."
Have fun explaining unvented natural gas room heaters.
In part:
DO choose appliances that vent their
fumes to the outside whenever possible,

have them properly installed, and maintain
them according to manufacturers' instructions.
DO read and follow all of the instructions that accompany any
fuel-burning device. If you cannot avoid using an unvented gas
or kerosene space heater, carefully follow the cautions that
come with the device. Use the proper fuel and keep doors
to the rest of the house open. Crack a window to ensure
enough air for ventilation and proper fuel-burning.
In practice those that dont do that with unvented
natural gas room heaters dont actually die like flys.
DON'T sleep in any room with an unvented gas or kerosene space heater.
In practice those that do that with unvented
natural gas room heaters dont actually die like flys.

Nearly 300 people die every year from carbon monoxide
exposure related to residential combustion appliances,
Pity about the earlier 200 claim.
Pity about the fact that it doesnt happen
with unvented natural gas room heaters.
and thousands of others become
ill or seek medical attention.
From over eating in spades.
Any fuel-burning appliance that is not adequately vented
and maintained can be a potential source of CO, including:
gas appliances (furnaces, ranges, ovens, water heaters,
clothes dryers, etc.) fireplaces, wood and coal stoves,
space heaters charcoal grills, automobile exhaust fumes,
camp stoves, gas-powered lawn mowers, and power tools

Do whatever you want in your home with your family, personally,
I wouldn't dare take the chance of running an unvented gas
appliance that was designed and manufactured to be vented.
Your pathetic neurotic hangups are your problem.
