SAFE DRINKING WATER AND
TOXIC ENFORCEMENT ACT OF 1986
CHEMICALS KNOWN TO THE STATE
TO CAUSE CANCER OR REPRODUCTIVE TOXICITY
FEBRUARY 14, 2003
The Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement
Act of 1986 requires that the Governor revise and republish at least once per
year the list of chemicals known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive
toxicity. The identification number
indicated in the following list is the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
Registry Number. No CAS number is given
when several substances are presented as a single listing. The date refers to the initial appearance of
the chemical on the list. For easy
reference, chemicals which are shown underlined are newly added. Chemicals which are shown with a strikeout
were placed on the list with the date noted, and have subsequently been
removed.
