Chemical Listed Effective May 17, 2002 as Known to the State of California to Cause Cancer: Pyridine
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency is adding pyridine to the list of chemicals known to the State to cause cancer for purposes of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65). The listing of pyridine is effective May 17, 2002.
Pyridine (CAS # 110-86-1) is listed as a chemical known to the State to cause cancer. The listing of pyridine is based on a formal identification by an authoritative body that the chemical causes cancer pursuant to an administrative listing mechanism provided under Proposition 65. Regulations governing the listing of chemicals under the "authoritative bodies" mechanism are published in Title 22, California Code of Regulations, Section 12306 (22 CCR 12306).
The reader is directed to the Notice of Intent to List Pyridine published in the February 15, 2002, issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 02, No. 7-Z) for the supporting documentation for the chemical pyridine, which OEHHA relied upon in making its determination that the criteria for administrative listing have been satisfied.
A complete, updated chemical list is published elsewhere in this issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register.
In summary, the following chemical is added to the Proposition 65 chemical list as known to the State to cause cancer:
