Proposition 65 Proposition 65 List Molinate Listed as Known to the State of California to Cause Reproductive ToxicityA complete, updated Proposition 65 list is available for download here.
The Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) within the California Environmental Protection Agency is adding molinate (CAS No. 2212-67-1) to the list of chemicals known to the state to cause reproductive toxicity for purposes of the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (Proposition 65). The listing of molinate is effective December 11, 2009.
Molinate (CAS No. 2212-67-1) is being listed as a chemical known to the State of California to cause developmental, male reproductive, and female reproductive toxicity. The listing of this chemical is based on formal identification by an authoritative body (the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA)), that the chemical causes developmental, male reproductive, and female reproductive toxicity. 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 reader is directed to the Notice of Intent to List Molinate (CAS No. 2212-67-1) published in the June 27, 2008 issue of the California Regulatory Notice Register (Register 2008, No. 26‑Z) for the documentation supporting OEHHA’s determination that the criteria for administrative listing have been satisfied for this chemical.
OEHHA analysis of dose-response data to establish the maximum allowable dose level (MADL) for molinate (CAS No. 2212-67-1) under Proposition 65 has not yet been conducted. The priority status for the development of such analysis will be announced in a future OEHHA Proposition 65 Status Report for Safe Harbor Levels, available at http://www.oehha.ca.gov/prop65.html.
