Triphenyltin hydroxide Listed as Known to the State of California to Cause Reproductive Toxicity

Notice to Interested Parties
Chemical Listed Effective March 18, 2002 as Known to the State of California to Cause Reproductive Toxicity

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency is adding triphenyltin hydroxide to the list of chemicals known to the State to cause reproductive toxicity for purposes of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65). The listing of triphenyltin hydroxide is effective March 18, 2002.

Triphenyltin hydroxide (CAS # 76-87-9) is listed as a chemical known to the State to cause reproductive toxicity for the developmental toxicity endpoint. The listing of triphenyltin hydroxide is based on a formal identification by an authoritative body that the chemical causes developmental toxicity 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 Triphenyltin Hydroxide published in the January 18, 2002, issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 02, No. 3-Z) for the supporting documentation for the chemical triphenyltin hydroxide, which OEHHA relied upon in making its determination that the criteria for administrative listing have been satisfied.
