The California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) added 14 substances to the California Prop 65 list of chemicals known to the State to cause cancer. The newly added substances include:
- the substance group dibenzanthracenes and the individual substances making up the group that were not already listed.
- N- nitrosomethyl-n-alkylamines with alkyl chain lengths of 3 to 12 and 14carbons (The N-nitrosomethyl-n-alkylamines with 1 and 2 carbons were already listed in prop 65.)

| Dibenz[ a,j ]anthracene | 224-41-9 | cancer |
| N-Nitrosomethyl- n -propylamine | cancer | |
| N-Nitrosomethyl- n -butylamine | cancer | |
| N-Nitrosomethyl- n -pentylamine | cancer | |
| N-Nitrosomethyl- n -hexylamine | cancer | |
| N-Nitrosomethyl- n -heptylamine | cancer | |
