Safe harbor levels, which include No Significant Risk Levels (NSRLs) for cancer-causing chemicals and Maximum Allowable Dose Levels (MADLs) for chemicals causing reproductive toxicity, have been established for many of the chemicals listed under Proposition 65. Exposure levels and discharges to drinking water sources that are below the safe harbor levels are exempt from the requirements of Proposition 65. In some instances, enforcement actions may have resulted in negotiated exposure levels relative to specific settlement agreements. The most recent Safe Harbor list (updated October 4, 2018) can be downloaded here.
As previously stated, the Center for Advanced Public Awareness (CAPA) is dedicated to the health and wellbeing of each and every person living in the state of California. It is a non-profit for the public benefit as defined in IRC Section 501(c)(3).
Proposition 65 became law in November 1986, when it was approved by the voters in California. The official name of Proposition 65 is the Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986.
