Proposition 65 - Adoption of No Significant Risk Level for Roundup/glyphosate
This just in from OEHHA on Roundup:
"The Office of Environmental Health Hazard
Assessment has adopted a No Significant Risk Level of 1100 micrograms per day for
glyphosate. This means that exposures to glyphosate below 1100
micrograms per day are not considered a significant risk of cancer for purposes
of Proposition 65 and would not require a warning. Safe-harbor levels help
businesses determine when a warning is required for exposures to listed
chemicals. Once the warning requirement takes effect on July 7, 2018,
businesses with 10 or more employees who cause exposures above the safe harbor level
may need to provide warnings. Enforcement of the warning requirement is
currently the subject of pending federal litigation that may affect the duty to
warn for glyphosate exposures. See National Association of Wheat Growers
et al., v Lauren Zeise, et al. (Eastern District of California, Case #
2:17-cv-02401-WBS-EFB). A preliminary injunction has been issued in that
case prohibiting enforcement of the warning requirement by the California
Attorney General and OEHHA. The case is still pending in the Federal
District Court."
