Proposition 65

Correction to the Listing of the Chemicals Acifluorfen and Ganciclovir Sodium as Known to the State to Cause Cancer and Reproductive Toxicity
[03/21/08]

The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) of the California Environmental Protection Agency is making a correction to the listings of the chemicals acifluorfen (CAS No.62476-59-9) and ganciclovir sodium (CAS No. 82410-32-0). 

Acifluorfen was listed as a chemical known to cause cancer on January 1, 1990.  It was recently brought to OEHHA’s attention that the Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) number, (CAS No.62476-59-9) is assigned to acifluorfen sodium and that OEHHA had incorrectly identified it as acifluorfen.  The proper naming of the chemical on the Proposition 65 list should be acifluorfen sodium (CAS No, 62476-59-9).

Ganciclovir sodium was listed as a chemical known to cause cancer, developmental toxicity and male reproductive toxicity on August 26, 1997.  It was also recently brought to OEHHA’s attention that the CAS No., (CAS No. 82410-32-0) is assigned to ganciclovir.  In reviewing the basis for the listing decision, OEHHA determined that the proper listing should be ganciclovir (CAS No. 82410-32-0) as known to cause cancer and ganciclovir ((CAS No. 82410-32-0) and ganciclovir sodium (CAS No. 107910-75-8) as known to cause developmental toxicity and male reproductive toxicity.  Accordingly, OEHHA revises the chemical listings as noted below.  The effective dates of the chemical listings remain the same. 

A complete, updated Proposition 65 list is available for download as a pdf file here.

If you would like to sort the list by CAS number or date, please download the March 21, 2008 list as a Excel, hyphenated and with the associated Safe Harbor Levels here. You can then sort the list by date, CAS number or chemical name using MS Excel.
