New Toxicity Databases Released

For customers with responsibilities to write MSDS (soon to be SDS), you now have access to some new tools for determining toxicity of ingredients in your mixtures or solutions. EPA has just released two databases for your use: Toxicity Forecaster Database and Chemical Exposure Studies Database.

Using Toxicity Forecaster, you can search and download data from 500+ rapid chemical tests conducted on 300+ environmental chemicals. There are an additional 700 chemicals being tested now with data expected to be added to the database soon.

The Chemical Exposure database consolidates human exposure data from studies which collected chemical measurements from homes and childcare centers.

This includes data on the amounts of chemicals found in food, water, air, dust, indoor surfaces and urine.

These resources will be an excellent tool for small-medium size companies designing Safety Data Sheets.
