美国加州就修订65号提案部分内容征求意见

 

    加州65号提案，即《1986年饮用水安全与毒性物质强制执行法》，对能导致癌症或生殖毒性的化学品进行监管，旨在保护美国加州居民及该州的饮用水水源，使水源不含已知可能导致癌症、出生缺陷或其他生殖发育危害的物质。

 

    部分原文报道如下：

 

    Proposition 65 prohibits a person in the course of doing business from knowingly and intentionally exposing any individual to a chemical that has been listed as known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity, without first giving clear and reasonable warning to such individual.  The Act also prohibits a business from knowingly discharging a listed chemical into water or onto or into land wher such chemical passes or probably will pass into any source of drinking water.  Warnings are not required and the discharge prohibition does not apply when exposures are insignificant.  Proposition 65 also provides that a list must be published annually of chemicals that are required by state or federal law to be tested for carcinogenicity or reproductive toxicity, but have been deemed to need further testing. Title 27, California Code of Regulations, section 27000 is the regulation adopted by OEHHA to implement this requirement. These proposed amendments clarify portions of section 27000, but most importantly, updat this section to include references to recently renumbered sections of the federal Toxic Substances Control Act.
