Is clothes dryer exhaust coming through my window dangerous?
Hi, my apartment window is located directly above the dryer exhaust for my building. Sometimes, when I open the window, I notice that some of the exhaust comes into my apartment, depending on the wind direction. Is this dangerous? Since “Answers” is shutting down soon, this will likely be my last question. I appreciate everyone's help with this!

Unless youre drying something toxic, the exhaust is just hot, moist air. It shouldnt do you any harm
That should be hot moist air. I would not want it to come in. Talk to the LL and see if he has a solution. You are paying rent so he works for you. It could be stink if it is wet socks…from the football team.

Not likely but you can buy a carbon monoxide detector for much less than a trip to the ER

If it is a gas dryer then it could be. If it is electric, not really. Increased humidity can alwasy lead to mold and such, but you situation doesn’t sound like it would be an issue.
It is not dangerous at all. It is just moist air that has been run through the dryer.
It is only water – and no worse than a steaming kettle. You exhaust it to avoid making your apartment damp.
