A member asked:

I live right next door to a laundromat. my apartment window is next to the air vents on top of it. how dangerous is this to consistently breathe in?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Uncertain risks: How dangerous is constant, indirect exposure to hot dryer output, with modern fabric softeners and anti-static chemicals? I don't think the answer is known, but here is an article on the topic: www.Ncbi.Nlm.Nih.Gov/pubmed/10872633 it said there were irritating effects from the chemicals, but that doesn't explain much when one is asking about a human's exposure in a specific real-life situation.
