Animal evidence considered in determination of cannabis smoke and Δ -tetrahydrocannabinol as causing reproductive toxicity (developmental endpoint); Part I. Somatic development.

Objectives: On December 11, 2019, California's Developmental and Reproductive Toxicant Identification Committee (DARTIC) met to consider the addition of cannabis smoke and Δ -THC to the Proposition 65 list as causing reproductive toxicity (developmental endpoint). As the lead state agency for implementing Proposition 65, the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) reviewed and summarized the relevant scientific literature in the form of a hazard identification document (HID). Here we provide reviews based on the HID: shortened, revised, and reformatted for a larger audience.

Animal evidence considered in determination of cannabis smoke and Δ -tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ -THC) as causing reproductive toxicity (developmental endpoint); Part II. Neurodevelopmental effects.

This review focuses on neurodevelopmental effects observed in animal studies of cannabis smoke and Δ -THC. Effects in offspring after preconceptional, prenatal, or perinatal exposure to cannabis smoke or Δ -THC were considered. Locomotor and exploratory behavior effects were noted in rats.

Application of the Navigation Guide systematic review methodology to the evidence for developmental and reproductive toxicity of triclosan.

Background: There are reports of developmental and reproductive health effects associated with the widely used biocide triclosan.

Objective: Apply the Navigation Guide systematic review methodology to answer the question: Does exposure to triclosan have adverse effects on human development or reproduction?

Methods: We applied the first 3 steps of the Navigation Guide methodology: 1) Specify a study question, 2) Select the evidence, and 3) Rate quality and strength of the evidence. We developed a protocol, conducted a comprehensive search of the literature, and identified relevant studies using pre-specified criteria.
