A general account of how the CHETAH program may be applied to estimation of chemical hazards in relation to process research and development has been given [10], Progressively enhanced and user-friendly versions of CHETAH, which give an overall hazard assessment and are capable of running on personal computers are available from ASTM [11], Comments critical of the criteria used for hazard evaluation in the 1994 CHETAH program [12] led to amendments and enhancements incorporated in the 1998 Windows version. The pure compound physical properties databank has since been expanded from 400 to 1500 compounds and the...

Although we have access to an enormous amount of information, the quality and reproducibility of data varies considerably. Governmental and regulatory influences have not provided any guarantees as to the accuracy of data related to xenobiotics and the researcher needs to understand the purpose and mandates behind an information resource to fully evaluate the data contained within. For example, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) criteria for selection of data is not based on the reproducibility of that data. Other sources, such as the National Library of Medicine s Hazardous Substances Databank (HSDB), present information compiled from a wide variety of source materials that are extensively reviewed by experts. 

TOXNET http //toxnet.nlm.nih.gov User-friendly Web site that allows searching of a cluster of bibliographic and factual databases with information on toxicology and environmental health. Includes the Hazardous Substances Databank (HSDB), with detailed information about 4500 chemicals, and TOXLINE, containing >3 million citations to journal articles and technical reports. 

European Chemicals Bureau (http //ecb.jrc.it/) and the Hazardous Substance DataBank (http //toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/). When insufficient data were available for human chronic toxicity, a prediction of the carcinogenic and mutagenic effects was performed with the OSIRIS tool, available at the Organic Chemistry Portal (http // www.organic-chemistry.org/prog/peo/).

In case that no MSDS is available, there exists the possibility to search the required information in the databank of the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA). In the C L-Inventory, the CAS and/or EINECS numbers, the corresponding classi cation, required labels and the corresponding H (hazard) and the P (precautionary) statements, and the CHS pictograms of all chemicals registered in the EU can be found. However, this ECHA databank is of help only for orientation, as, for example, there exist for Orange Oil sweet CAS No. 8028-48-6 a total of 56 entries.
