A meeting of the Proposition 65 Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee (DARTIC), DARTIC provided the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) with its advice concerning the relative priority of 22 chemicals (or chemical groups) for possible consideration for listing at future meetings of the DARTIC.

This public notice announces the initiation of PHG development for 1,4-dioxane and an update of the PHG for n-nitrosodimethylamine. 

This proposed regulation would establish the naturally occurring level of lead in candies containing chili and/or tamarind as required by Health and Safety Code section 110552.

The Carcinogen Identification Committee of OEHHA’s Science Advisory Board serves as the state’s qualified experts and renders an opinion about whether a chemical has been clearly shown to cause cancer.  The chemicals identified as carcinogens by the CIC are added to the Proposition 65 list. 

OEHHA has selected chemicals for the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee's review for possible listing under Proposition 65 as causing reproductive toxicity (developmental toxicity endpoint).

OEHHA has scheduled a public hearing on Thursday, January 3, 2019, at the George Alexeeff Environmental Health Library, Suite 1604, 16th Floor, 1515 Clay Street, Oakland, CA 94612 and the comment period is extended to 5:00 pm, Friday, January 11, 2019.
