Correction to the List of Chemicals Known to the State of California to Cause Cancer or Reproductive Toxicity

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) is making two corrections to the list of chemicals as known to the State of California to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity which was published on May 31, 2002 in the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 02, No. 22-Z). The chemical, triforine, which was listed on June 18, 1999 as a chemical known to the State to cause developmental toxicity had two Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) numbers included for the chemical. The correct CAS number for triforine should be: 26644-46-2. The chemical, bromate, was listed without a CAS number on May 31, 2002 as a chemical known to the State to cause cancer. OEHHA has since determined the correct CAS number for bromate, which is: 15541-45-4.

Following is the correct listing for the two chemicals:

Cancer
