On October 28, 2011 the chemical TDCPP was added to the list of chemicals known to the state to cause cancer under the Prop-65 Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. On June 1, 2012 OEHHA issued a notice of proposed rulemaking proposing a no significant risk level (NSRL) for TDCPP.
On September 20, 2012 the office of Administrative Law (OAL) approved the addition of TDCPP s a NSRL effective on October 28, 2012.
OEHHA announced the availability of the regulatory text and supporting rulemaking documents. These actions are chronicled on the OFHHA website at WWW.OEHHA.CA.GOV.
Please note the following additional information:
- TDCPP is established as a NSRL (non-significant risk level) at exposure levels of less than <5.4 micrograms per day over a 70 year period.
- The cancer risk associated with this level of exposure is the daily intake level for a chemical calculated to result in one excess case of cancer in an exposed population of 100,000, assuming lifetime exposure to the chemical at the level greater than 5.4 micrograms per day for TDCPP.
NSRL are promulgated as regulations in title 27 California code of regulations sections 25705, 25709 and 25805.
