Abstract
(OEHHA), in consultation with the appropriate entities within the California Environmental Protection Agency, to identify those chemical contaminants commonly found at school sites and determined by OEHHA to be of greatest concern based on child-specific physiological sensitivities. HSC 901(g) also requires OEHHA to annually evaluate and publish, as appropriate, numerical health guidance values (HGVs) or chRDs for those chemical contaminants. The draft chRD for paraquat being considered at this time is 7 x 10-5 mg/kg-day. In developing the chRD, OEHHA selected two young-animal studies and two adult-animal studies. Collectively these studies paint a cohesive picture that paraquat is a neurotoxicant and impacts brain functions. The chRD is based on the lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) of 0.07 mg/kg-day from one of the studies. This public comment period follows the requirements set forth in Health and Safety Code Section 57003 for receiving public input. The initial draft was released on December 4, 2009, with a review and comment period ending on January 22, 2010. This period was extended to February 22, 2010. A public workshop was held on
