The data base CICLOPS (Computer interrogation of a Comprehensive List of Organic Pollutants) at December 1983 contained information on about 3.600 organic compounds with over 22.000 individual records. In order to make CICLOPS more easily accessible to participating laboratories and other establishments with legitimate interests, its conversion and loading as a subset of the environmental matrices files of the ECDIN (Environmental Chemicals Data and Information Network of the European Communities) data base has been investigated. 

POSTER SESSION ECDIN, ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICALS DATA AND INFORMATION NETWORK... 

Environmental Chemicals Data and Information Network (ECDIN) (19). This is an Internet accessible factual data bank based in Europe containing a wide variety of environmental and CH S information. Much of the information is similar to that found on MSDSs, but unlike those extensive references are given. Additional information is available that is not found on MSDSs. Two categories that are useful in developing supplementary lecture material include Analytical Methods for Detection and Chemical Processes used for production. 

Databank) and ECDIN (Environmental Chemicals Data and Information Network) (see Chemical Safety Information Databases). HSDS gives extensive information about 4500 dangerous substances on practically all information types mentioned in Section 3. ECDIN is still available online and on CD-ROM. It comprises data on approximate 100000 chemicals, but the given datasets on each substance are often not completely filled with actual data. For some time ECDIN has also been available on the Internet free of charge. ...

It should be understood that a complete and final catalog of pollutants and their effects cannot be given new substances are constantly entering the terrestrial chemical network, and negative effects often become apparent only after a considerable time. The number of chemical substances for which reasonably complete environmental analysis is available remains a relatively small proportion of the whole in spite of the best efforts of environmental chemists and engineers. Availability of information and data on pollution matters has, however, been much enhanced by the proliferation of enviromnent-related sites on the Internet there are far too matty to attempt to list or categorize here, but the most comprehensive is probably that of the Enviromnental Protection Agency (http //www.epa.gov).
