The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment is releasing a draft document summarizing the toxicity and derivation of Reference Exposure Levels for 1-Bromopropane .  This document will be reviewed and discussed by the Scientific Review Panel on Toxic Air Contaminants (SRP) at its meeting on May 12, 2022 in Sacramento, CA.  RELs are airborne concentrations of a chemical that are not anticipated to result in adverse noncancer health effects for specified exposure durations in the general population, including sensitive subpopulations.

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is releasing a draft document for public review, summarizing the toxicity and derivation of proposed Reference Exposure Levels (RELs) for 1-Bromopropane (1-BP). The posting of the document will commence a 45-day public review period that will end on February 22, 2022.  A remote public workshop will be held virtually on January 26, 2022 at 10:00 AM using the Zoom platform. 

The preliminary agenda for the meeting of the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee (DARTIC) for possible listing of perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and its salts, and perfluorodecanoic acid (PFDA) and its salts, under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65) is given. The order of items on the agenda is provided for general reference only and is subject to change at the discretion of the Committee Chair.

The California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment will convene a meeting of the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee for possible listing of perfluorononanoic acid (PFNA) and its salts, and perfluorodecanoic acid and its salts, under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. This will also opening a 45-day public comment period on the hazard identification document for these chemicals.

Preliminary Agenda for Meeting of the Carcinogen Identification Committee (CIC) for possible listing of perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) and its salts and transformation and degradation precursors under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65).

PFOS and its salts and transformation and degradation precursors will be considered for possible listing under Proposition 65 at a public meeting scheduled for Monday, December 6, 2021. The meeting, which will be held virtually, will begin at 10:00 a.m. and last until all business is conducted or until 5:00 p.m. The agenda for the meeting and instructions on how to participate will be provided in a future public notice published in advance of the meeting.

A Public Health Goal (PHG) is the level of a drinking water contaminant at which adverse health effects are not expected to occur from a lifetime of exposure. The technical support document presents the scientific information available on the toxicity of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and the calculation of the proposed PHGs.

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is releasing a document for public review that summarizes the carcinogenicity and derivation of a cancer inhalation unit risk factor (IUR) for 1-bromopropane (1-BP). The posting of the document will commence a 45-day public review period that will end on June 21, 2021 and a remote public workshop will be held virtually on May 26, 2021 at 10:00 AM.

We will gather remotely to hear and collect perspectives and information on the climate change impacts being experienced by tribal communities in Lake, Sonoma, and Mendocino Counties.
