OEHHA Staff Transparencies from Meeting: Carcinogen Identification Committee Held on October 7, 1999
[10/27/99]
A meeting of the Carcinogen Identification Committee (CIC) was
held on October 7, 1999, at the Elihu Harris State Office Building
in Oakland, California. Below are the transparencies of presentations
made by staff of California Environmental Protection Agencys
Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA). The segments
of the agenda covered with this material include the "Consideration
of Chemicals Known to Cause Cancer", "Consideration of
Chemicals, Listed Via the Authoritative Bodies Mechanism, For Removal
From the List", and "CICs Proposal to Give Chemicals
a Lower Priority For Committee Evaluation If They Are Prescription
Drugs." The CIC identified bis(2-chloro-1-methylethyl)ether
(technical grade), 1 -chloro-4-nitrobenzene, and estragole for listing
as known to the state to cause cancer. The CIC also determined that
allyl chloride, chlorodibromomethane, p-toluidine, and zineb should
be removed from the list of chemicals known to the state to cause
cancer. The CIC discussed the prescription drug proposal, but no
consensus was reached.
