9780470511848Plain-language summary of each regulated substance found above, drawn from public regulatory data.
Acetaldehyde is a chemical that occurs naturally in the body and is also found in many everyday items, like ripe fruit, coffee, and bread. It's used to make other chemicals, including perfumes, plastics, and dyes. You might also encounter it in cigarette smoke and car exhaust. California's Proposition 65 program lists acetaldehyde because it is classified as a carcinogen, meaning it can cause cancer. This listing is based on scientific evidence that shows long-term exposure may increase cancer risk. The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) manages this list to help people make informed choices about products they use. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative. Source: California OEHHA Proposition 65 List (https://oehha.ca.gov/proposition-65/proposition-65-list).
Acetaldehyde is a chemical that forms naturally when your body breaks down alcohol. It is also found in some foods and beverages. The World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classifies acetaldehyde associated with alcohol consumption as Group 1: carcinogenic to humans. This means there is strong evidence that it can cause cancer, particularly in the mouth, throat, and esophagus. Acetaldehyde is used in the production of other chemicals, plastics, and perfumes, but the main concern for most people is its link to drinking alcohol. IARC's classification is based on studies showing that acetaldehyde damages DNA and promotes tumor growth. This summary draws on public regulatory data; the linked source is authoritative.
