I think I have read that CO2 enrichment in a greenhouse can increase tomato production by up to 29%. I think that clothes dryer is propbably generate less CO, if at all, than if you you are baking a turkey with a gas oven. You will notice that the flame in the combustion chamber in a clothes dryer is always blue and there is no shoot deposit in the exhaust, an indication that combustion is complete.
Commercial CO2 generators, I believe, use natural or propane gas in the greenhouse.
I would recommend that if burning is involved in any occupied area, a CO detector should be installed.
