Chemical Listed Effective November 16, 2001 as Known to the State of California to Cause Cancer: Methyleugenol
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency is adding the chemical methyleugenol 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 chemical is listed effective November 16, 2001.
Methyleugenol (CAS No. 93-15-2) is listed as a chemical known to the State to cause cancer. The listing of methyleugenol 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 Chemicals published in the March 30, 2001, issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 00, No. 13-Z) for the supporting documentation for the chemical methyleugenol, which OEHHA relied upon in making its determination that the criteria for administrative listing had been satisfied.
