Footnotes
* Substances which have already been identified by the Air Resources Board as Toxic Air Contaminants through a
comprehensive AB 1807 risk assessment and which have health values developed by the Office of Environmental
Health Hazard Assessment and approved by the Scientific Review Panel. A full risk assessment report is available.
** AB 1807, Statutes 1983, chapter 1047, Health & Safety Code sections 39650 et. seq.

AB 2728, Statutes 1992, chapter 1161, Health & Safety Code sections 39655 et. seq.
a To be listed as a Toxic Air Contaminant, these substances will go though a comprehensive AB 1807
risk assessment.
++ Health value reviewed by the Scientific Review Panel.
X Health value under development by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment for review by the Scientific Review Panel.
0 These substances have been nominated for the development of additional health values.
+ These substances are active ingredients in pesticides in California. For further information regarding the
esticidal uses of these compounds, please contact the Department of Pesticide Regulation.
Note 1: Substances in Category IIa and IIb without a draft or Scientific Review Panel reviewed Cancer Potency Value
have been divided into 3 groups depending on their cancer classification by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) or the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
i Classified by U.S. EPA and / or IARC as a probable or possible human carcinogen
(Group B1, B2, C, 2A, or 2B substances);
ii Classified by U.S. EPA and / or IARC as insufficient/inadequate data exist to classify
as to carcinogenicity to humans (Group 3 or D substances), or no data or value available
at this time;
iii Considered not likely to be carcinogenic to humans by U.S. EPA and / or IARC
(Group 4 or E substances).
Note 2: The literature was reviewed for substances in Category IIa & IIb without a draft or Scientific Review Panel reviewed Chronic Reference Exposure Level. "Limited data available" was added to the row if some chronic toxicity data was found in the literature. "No data available" was added to the row if no chronic toxicity data
was found in the literature.
Note 3: The literature was reviewed for substances in Category IIa & IIb without a draft or Scientific Review Panel reviewed Acute Reference Exposure Level. "Limited data available" was added to the row if some acute toxicity data was found in the literature. "No data available" was added to the row if no acute toxicity data
was found in the literature.
Note 4: For all listings above which contain the word "compounds" and for glycol ethers, the following applies:
Unless otherwise specified, these listings are defined as including any unique chemical substance
that contains the named chemical (i.e, antimony, arsenic, etc.) as part of that chemical’s infrastructure.
Note 5: Chlorinated Dibenzo-P-Dioxins and Dibenzofurans: The cancer potency value for
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin was determined for the identification of chlorinated dioxins and
dibenzofurans as toxic air contaminants in 1986. At that time, the Board identified dibenzo-p-dioxins and
dibenzofurans chlorinated in the 2,3,7, and 8 positions and containing 4,5,6, or 7 chlorine atoms as toxic
air contaminants. Since 1986, International Toxicity Equivalency Factors (ITEFs) have been developed
which are used to evaluate the cancer risk due to exposure to samples containing mixtures of chlorinated
dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans. ITEFs are numerical factors that express the toxicity of an individual
chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxin or dibenzofuran relative to the toxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin.
ITEFs are listed for 16 chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans.
Note 6: Diethanolamine: There is a 1997 draft report by the National Toxicology Program that shows evidence of
carcinogenic activity in mice. (This may result in a change of the cancer classification.)
Note 7:

Glycol Ethers: Includes mono- and di-ethers of ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and triethylene glycol
(R(OCH2CH2)n - OR' where 

n = 1,2 or 3

R = Alkyl or Aryl Groups

R' = R,H, or Groups Which, When Removed, Yield Glycol Ethers with the Structure; 

R (OCH2CH)n - OH. Polymers are excluded from the glycol category.
Note 8: Inorganic Lead: Due to information on non-cancer health effects showing no identified threshold, no
Reference Exposure Level has been developed. However, guidelines for assessing noncancer health
impacts are currently being developed by ARB staff.
Note 9: Polycyclic Organic Matter: Includes organic compounds with more than one benzene ring, and which
have a boiling point greater than or equal to 100 oC.
Note 10: Benzo[a]pyrene: Potency Equivalency Factors (PEF) have been developed for 24 polycyclic aromatic
hydrocarbons (PAHs). Using benzo[a]pyrene as a reference compound, a weighting scheme for PAHs
was developed in the 1994 Air Resources Board document entitled, Benzo[a]pyrene as a Toxic Air
Contaminant. When a specific potency value is developed for a chemical, it should be used in place
of the PEF.
Note 11: Cyanide Compounds: X'CN where X=H' or any other group where a formal dissociation may occur.
For example, KCN or Ca(CN)2...
Note 12: Radionuclides: A type of atom which spontaneously undergoes radioactive decay.
Note 13: Fine Mineral Fibers: Includes mineral fiber emissions from facilities manufacturing or processing glass,
rock, or slag fibers (or other mineral derived fibers) of average diameter 1 micrometer or less.
Note 14: Environmental Tobacco Smoke: An AB 1807-type of health assessment for Environmental Tobacco Smoke
was conducted by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) and was approved by
the Scientific Review Panel on June 19, 1997. The Air Resources Board accepted the report from OEHHA
on October 23,  1997 and subsequently forwarded to the Department of Health Services’ Tobacco Control
Program for appropriate action.
Note 15: The OEHHA completed its inhalation cancer potency risk assessment on MTBE and the Scientific Review
Panel approved it at its November 1999 meeting.
