Bromodichloroacetic acid listed under Prop 65

On 29 July 2016, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) adds bromodichloroacetic acid (CAS No. 71133-14-7) to the list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer for purposes of Proposition 65.

The listing of bromodichloroacetic acid is based on formal identification by the National Toxicology Program (NTP), an authoritative body, that the chemical causes cancer.  The criteria used by OEHHA for the listing of chemicals under the “authoritative bodies” mechanism can be found in Title 27, Cal. Code of Regs., section 25306.

The documentation supporting OEHHA’s determination that the criteria for administrative listing have been satisfied for bromodichloroacetic acid is included in the “Notice of Intent to List Bromodichloroacetic Acid” posted on OEHHA’s website and published in the May 27, 2016 issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2016, No. 22-Z).  The publication of the notice initiated a public comment period that closed on June 27, 2016.  OEHHA received no public comments on bromodichloroacetic acid.
