The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) within the California Environmental Protection Agency is adding four chemicals -- cyclopenta[cd]pyrene (CAS No. 27208-37-3), ethanol in alcoholic beverages, leather dust, and salted fish, Chinese-style -- 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)1. The listing of these four chemicals is effective April 29, 2011.
Health and Safety Code section 25249.8(a) requires that certain substances identified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) or the National Toxicology Program (NTP), as described in Labor Code section 6382(b)(1) and (d), be included on the Proposition 65 list as causing cancer. Labor Code section 6382(b)(1) references substances identified as human or animal carcinogens by IARC, and Labor Code section 6382(d) references substances identified as carcinogens or potential carcinogens by IARC or NTP.
The basis for the listing of the four chemicals was described in a public notice published in the March 4, 2011, issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2011, No. 9-Z). The title of the notice was “Notice of Intent to List Chemicals by the Labor Code Mechanism”. The publication of the notice initiated a 30-day public comment period that closed on April 4, 2011.
A complete, updated Proposition 65 list is published elsewhere in this issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register and is available on the OEHHA website.
