What are safe harbor numbers
As stated above,to guide businesses in determining whether a warning is necessary or whether discharges of a chemical into drinking water sources are prohibited,OEHHA has developed safe harbor numbers.A business has “safe harbor” from Proposition 65 warning requirements or discharge prohibitions if exposure to a chemical occurs at or below these levels.There safe harbor numbers consist of no significant risk levels for chemicals listed as causing cancer and maximum allowable dose levels for chemicals listed as causing birth defects or other reproductive harm.OEHHA has established safe harbor numbers for nearly 250 chemicals to date and continues to develop safe harbor numbers for listed chemicals.
Who enforces Proposition 65
The California Attorney General’s Office enforces Proposition 65.Any district attorney or city attorney (for cities whose population exceeds 750,000) my also enforce Proposition 65.any individual acting in the public interest may enforce Proposition 65 by filling a lawsuit against a business alleged to be in violation of the law.Lawsuits have been filed by the Attorney General’s Office,district attorneys,consumer advocacy groups,and private citizens and law firms.Penalties for violating Proposition 65 by failing to provide notices can be as high as $2,500 per violation per day.
How is Proposition 65 meeting its goal of reducing exposure to hazardous chemicals in California?
Since it was passed in 1986,Proposition 65 has provided Californians with information they can use to reduce their exposures to listed chemicals that may not have been adequately controlled under other State or federal laws.This law has also increased public awareness about the adverse effects of exposures to listed chemicals Fro example,Proposition 65 has resulted in greater awareness of the dangers of alcoholic beverage consumption during pregnancy.Alcohol consumption warnings are perhaps the most visible health warnings issued as a result of Proposition 65.
Proposition 65’s warning requirement has provided an incentive for manufacturers to remove listed chemicals from their products.For example,trichloroethylene,which causes cancer,is no longer used in most correction fluids; reformulated paint strippers do not contain the carcinogen methylene chloride; and toluene,which causes birth defects or other reproductive harm,has been removed from many nail care products.In addition,a Proposition 65 enforcement action prompted manufacturers to decrease the lead content in ceramic tableware and wineries to eliminate the use of lead-containing foil caps on wine bottles.
Proposition 65 has also succeeded in spurring significant reductions in California of air emissions of listed chemicals,such as ethylene oxide,hexavalent chromium,and chloroform.
