OEHHA Releases DART IC Meeting Agenda

California EPA’s Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) has issued a tentative agenda for the November 21, 2013, meeting of its Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee (DART IC). The committee, which determines whether a chemical has been shown to cause reproductive toxicity, will be reconsidering whether certain chemicals listed via the Labor Code mechanism as known to the state to cause reproductive toxicity should remain listed. It will also consider how to tabulate data from epidemiological studies in hazard identification documents using a matrix that includes columns for study design and sample size, outcomes of interest, exposure dosages measures, routes of exposure, and confounders, among other matters. See OEHHA News Release Update, November 7, 2013.
