| Short description: |
EPA is releasing a database, called ToxRefDB, which allows
scientists and the interested public to search and download
thousands of toxicity testing results on hundreds of chemicals.
ToxRefDB captures 30 years and $2 billion of testing results.
ToxRefDB provides detailed chemical toxicity data in an
accessible format. It is a part of ACToR (Aggregated
Computational Toxicology Resource), an online data warehouse
that collects data from about 500 public sources on tens of
thousands of environmentally relevant chemicals, including
several hundred in ToxRefDB. Those interested in chemical
toxicity can query a specific chemical and find all available
public hazard, exposure, and risk-assessment data, as well as
previously unpublished studies related to cancer, reproductive,
and developmental toxicity. ToxRefDB contains toxicity
information that forms the basis for pesticide risk assessments
when combined with other sources of information, such as those
on exposure and metabolism.
