Toxicology - Biological (or Medical) and Environmental

General Toxicology
  • Acute Exposure Guideline Levels
    "Acute Exposure Guideline Levels, or AEGLs, are intended to describe the risk to humans resulting from once-in-a-lifetime, or rare, exposure to airborne chemicals. The National Advisory Committee for AEGLs is developing these guidelines to help both national and local authorities, as well as private companies, deal with emergencies involving spills, or other catastrophic exposures.
    At the URL click on CHEMICALS at the bottom of the page to search AEGLs."
  • Agency for Toxic Substances & Diseases Registry
    Contains national alerts, health advisories, databases, related organizations & internet resources, etc. Includes a Glossary of Terms.
  • Carcinogen Potency Database
    Resource on the results of chronic, long-term animal cancer tests.
  • Concise International Chemical Assessment Documents (CICADs)
  • Database of Environmental Fate of Chemicals (DBEFC)
    Gives data on transformation & degradation, distribution of chemicals in sediments, chemicals in ambient air, photochemical reaction of chemicals in environmental air, and chemical component at sources. A limited number of chemicals is included.
  • Disorders of Environmental Origin
    Layperson information resource from the Karolinski Institute. Stockholm, Sweden.
  • ECOTOX
    A source for locating single chemical toxicity data for aquatic life, terrestrial plants and wildlife. ECOTOX integrates three U.S. EPA, Office of Research and Development (ORD), National Health and Environmental Effects Research Laboratory (NHEERL), Mid-Continent Ecology Division, toxicology effects databases; AQUIRE (aquatic life), PHYTOTOX (terrestrial plants), and TERRETOX (terrestrial wildlife). Valuable site but difficult to use.
  • EMCI Chemical References Web Pages
    You can search full text on the EPA Chemical Substance Fact Sheets.
  • Endocrine Receptors
  • Environmental Health Information Service
    EHIS is a service of the NIH-National Institute of Environmental Health and the DHHS-National Toxicology Program. Excellent site.
  • Health Effects & Protection
  • Household Products Database
    “The Household Products Database of the National Library of Medicine is based on the Consumer Product Information Database ©2001 by DeLima Associates…This database links over 4,000 consumer brands to health effects from Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) provided by the manufacturers and allows scientists and consumers to research products based on chemical ingredients.”
  • IRIS: Integrated Risk Information System
    IRIS is a database of human health effects that may result from exposure to various substances found in the environment. The 536 substances are listed in alphabetical order. You can scroll and click on the substance you want, or use your browser's Find command to search for a substance name or Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CASRN). When you go to a substance file, use the Back command on your browser to return to the list.
  • NIEHS: National Toxicology Program
    Contains links to NTP Factsheets, Testing Information & Study Results, NTP Report on Carcinogens, a search engine for the NTP study databases, Chemical Health & Safety Information, and links to all the agencies that participate in NTP.
  • Office of Research and Development -- EPA (ORD)
    "The Office of Research and Development uses the Environmental Information Management System (EIMS) Database to store its research databases including the regional vunerability assessment database, the environmental monitoring and assessment database, the global change database and the total human exposure risk database."
  • Pesticide Information Profiles (PIPs)
    This site contains documents which provide specific pesticide information relating to health and environmental effects. PIPs are not based on an exhaustive literature search. The information does not in any way replace or supersede the information on the pesticide product labeling or other regulatory requirements.
  • Right to Know Hazardous Substance Fact Sheets
    There is information on over 1,000 hazardous and toxic chemicals in this regularly updated database; files are available only in PDF.
  • RTK Net Environmental Database
    This site is the home of the Toxic Release Inventory (trI); a database of information about releases and transfers of toxic chemicals from manufacturing facilities. Facilities must report their releases of a toxic chemical to trI if they fulfill criteria enumerated at this site.
  • Toxic Substances Hydrology Program
    From the U.S. Geological Survey. This program provides unbiased earth science information on the behavior of toxic substances in U.S. hydrologic environments. The information is used to avoid human exposure, to develop effective cleanup strategies, and to prevent further contamination.
  • Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program
    The SIS Division's Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP) sponsors publications, responds to information queries, supports the information requirements of other Federal agencies, and develops interactive retrieval services in toxicology and environmental health.
