On January 18, 2008, OEHHA requested information relevant to the assessment of the evidence of developmental and reproductive toxicity for hexavalent chromium and chlorpyrifos. The 60-day data call-in period ended on March 18, 2008. No information or data were received on hexavalent chromium. However, a significant volume of information was received on chlorpyrifos, which was evaluated by OEHHA staff. OEHHA has completed the hazard identification materials for hexavalent chromium and chlorpyrifos and announces the availability of the documents entitled: “Evidence on the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity of Hexavalent Chromium,” and “Evidence on the Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity of Chlorpyrifos.” The DARTIC will use these documents at its November 20 meeting to consider whether hexavalent chromium and chlorpyrifos should be added to the Proposition 65 list as known to cause reproductive toxicity.
