California Prop 65 – What do “No Significant Risk Level” and “Maximum Acceptable Dose Level” mean?
Substances identified as causing cancer are given a metric called “No Significant Risk Level” (NSRL) and Maximum Allowable Dose Level (MADL). This means that exposure to the amount of chemical in a product would result in no more than one case of cancer out of every 100,000 individuals who were exposed to the chemical over a 70-year time period. Measured in µg per day. Maximum Acceptable Dose Level “MADL” is the level at which a chemical would have no observable effect, even if an individual were exposed to 1,000 times that level.
What are the penalties for Cal Prop 65 non-compliance?
