July. 29 US: CANDIDATES FOR LISTING VIA THE AUTHORITATIVE BODIES MECHANISM FOUND NOT TO MEET THE FORMAL IDENTIFICATION CRITERIA

This notice is brought to you by the OEHHA.

 

 

On November 18, 2005, the California Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) issued a Notice of Intent to List 2,4-dichlorphenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D); 2,4-D n-butyl ester; 2,4-D isopropyl ester; 2,4-D isooctyl ester; propylene gylcol butyl ether ester (of 2,4-D); 2,4-D butoxyethanol ester; and 2,4-D dimethylamine salt as known to the state to cause reproductive toxicity under the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 19861 (Register 2005, No. 46-Z).

 

OEHHA has determined that there is insufficient evidence that the criteria in Title 27, California Code of Regulations section 25306(d) have been met. Therefore, OEHHA will not proceed at this time with the Proposition 65 listing process for 2,4-D salts and esters as known to cause reproductive toxicity.
