The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is releasing a draft document summarizing the carcinogenicity and derivation of a cancer inhalation unit risk factor (IUR) for p‑Chloro-α,α,α-trifluorotoluene (p-chlorobenzotrifluoride, PCBTF).  IURs are used to estimate lifetime cancer risks associated with inhalation exposure to a carcinogen.

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency has adopted and published Public Health Goals (PHGs) for the five regulated haloacetic acids (HAAs) found in drinking water as a result of disinfection methods: monochloroacetic acid (MCA), dichloroacetic acid (DCA), trichloroacetic acid (TCA), monobromoacetic acid (MBA), and dibromoacetic acid (DBA).

On December 31, 2019, the Office of Administrative Law approved amendments to Title 27, California Code of Regulations, section 25600.2, subsections (b), (c), (f) and (i), Responsibility to Provide Consumer Product Exposure Warnings.

 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 for four trihalomethanes (THMs) and the calculation of the proposed PHGs.

OEHHA has received a request from the American Coatings Association to extend the public comment period. This notice extends the comment period to December 17, 2019.
