Disposal Options and Sources of Information

Sources of information that can be accessed for evaluating products include the Hazardous Substances Data Base, which contains a summary of the fate of the substance in the environment and can be accessed via MEDLARS (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System) [a.405], the EPA AQUIRE (Environmental Protection Agency-Aquatic Life) data base, which contains a listing of aquatic toxicity data for many industrial chemicals [a.406], Syracuse University s data base of fate studies [a.407], and quantitative structure-activity relationships (QSARs) such as the EPA programme ECOSAR (Ecological [Pg.230]

Structure Activity Relationships) [a.408], where molecular modelling software has been developed that can accurately predict important physical properties such as thermal properties/recycling feasibility. [Pg.231]
