I took a sample of that white plastic vent hose and

Good to know. I'd think the lint would cause a
heck of a mess, if it caught fire. Of course, lot
based on what kind of fabric you'd been drying.
Cotton, poly, nylon, etc. I don't wish a dryer
vent fire on anyone.

Usually in a seldom used part of the house, and
fire would likely get a head start before it was
noticed.
