ATSDR : Toxicological Profile Information Sheet
Succintly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous 275 substances. The focus of the profile is on health and toxicologic information. Each profile begins with a Public Health Statement that summarizes in nontechnical language, a substance's relevant properties.
EPA : Contaminated Media, Human Health, and Environmental Effects
Includes information on: 1. Contaminated Media—sediments, ground water, soils, and air—at Superfund sites. 2.Common Contaminants found at Superfund sites. 3. Human Health Risks posed by contamination at Superfund sites, and and health effects from exposures to contaminants. 4.Environmental (Ecological) effects that may result from contamination at Superfund sites. 5. Technical Support and Resource Centers
HSLS Internet Guide : Toxicology
A guide to resources on the Internet compiled by librarians at the Health Sciences Library System, University of Pittsburgh.
Risk Assessment Integrated System (RAIS)
Tools and information including Risk-Based Preliminary Remediation Goal (PRG) calculations, a Toxicity data base, Risk Calculations, and Ecological Benchmarks.
Toxnet : CCRIS (Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information System)
"a factual data bank sponsored by the National Cancer Institute. It contains evaluated data and information, derived from both short and long-term bioassays on over 8,000 chemicals. Studies relate to carcinogens, mutagens, tumor promoters, cocarcinogens, metabolites and inhibitors of carcinogens."
Toxnet : DART®/ETIC (Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology/Environmental Teratology Information Center)
"a bibliographic database covering teratology and developmental toxicology literature published since 1950."
Toxnet : Genetic Toxicology (Mutagenicity)
"a data bank created by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) with genetic toxicology test results on over 3,000 chemicals. In the field of genetic toxicology, selected mutagenicity assay systems and the source literature are reviewed by work panels of scientific experts for each of the test systems under evaluation, and the GENE-TOX data bank is the product of these data review activities. Each test system in GENE-TOX has been peer reviewed and is referenced."
Toxnet : Hazardous Substances Data Bank
"containing records for over 4500 toxic or potentially toxic chemicals. It contains extensive information in such areas as toxicity, environmental fate, human exposure, chemical safety, waste disposal, emergency handling, and regulatory requirements. The data are taken from a core set of monographs augmented with government documents, special reports, and primary journal literature."
Toxnet : IRIS (Integrated Risk Information System)
"an online database built by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). It contains EPA carcinogenic and non-carcinogenic health risk assessment and regulatory information on over 500 chemicals. The risk assessment data have been scientifically reviewed by groups of EPA scientists and represent EPA consensus. IRIS also contains literature references."
Toxnet : TOXLINE®
"a bibliographic database covering the biochemical, pharmacological, physiological, and toxicological effects of drugs and other chemicals. It contains over 3 million citations, almost all with abstracts and/or index terms and CAS Registry Numbers. TOXLINE references are drawn from various sources grouped into two major parts--TOXLINE Core and TOXLINE Special, both of which operate under versatile search engines offering a variety of search and display capabilities."
Toxnet : TRI (Toxic Chemical Release Inventory)
"contains information on the annual estimated releases of toxic chemicals to the environment for the reporting years 1995-2000. This series of files is mandated by the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act and is based upon data submitted to the EPA from industrial facilities around the country. Data include names and addresses of the facilities, and the amount of certain toxic chemicals they release to the air, water, or land, or transfer to waste sites. There is information on over 650 chemicals and chemical categories. Pollution prevention data is also reported by each facility for each chemical."
WISER: the Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders
"WISER is a system designed to assist first responders in hazardous material incidents. WISER provides a wide range of information on hazardous substances, including substance identification support, physical characteristics, human health information, and containment and suppression advice." Download for various handheld systems such as Palm and Windows mobile devices.
