The Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee of OEHHA’s1 Science Advisory Board identifies chemicals for addition to the list of chemicals known to the State to cause reproductive toxicity (Health and Safety Code section 25249.8). The Committee serves as the “State’s Qualified Experts” for determining whether a chemical has been clearly shown, through scientifically valid testing according to generally accepted principles, to cause reproductive toxicity.
A public meeting of this committee will be held on Tuesday and Wednesday, July 12 and 13, 2011. The meeting will be available via webcast. On the day of the meeting, the link to the webcast will be posted on the OEHHA web site at http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65/whats_new/index.html.
