Important California Meeting To Attend
By Paul Connett
May 20, 2009
Sacramento, California, on Friday, May 29
The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) sent a list of 38 chemicals for prioritization to the Prop 65 Carcinogenicity Identification Committee (CIC). Included in the list is "fluoride and its salts." A 60-day public comment period on the chemicals ended on May 5. On May 29, the first public meeting will take place to discuss the prioritization and the public will be allowed to make comments.
The meeting will start at 10am-until all business is conducted or 5 pm, in the
Sierra Hearing Room
California Environmental Protection Agency
1001 I Street, Sacramento
See Tentative agenda
ONLY 4 of the 38 chemicals will be selected for review by CIC at this time and because of that, this meeting is very important as the CIC will provide OEHHA with advice on the prioritization of these chemicals. Based on the CIC's advice, OEHHA will select chemicals for preparation of Hazard Identification Materials. These materials will be used by the CIC at future meetings to decide the chemicals to add to the Proposition 65 list. No listing decisions will be made concerning these chemicals at the May 29 meeting. FAN's Chris Neurath will attend.
