Hazardous Substances Data Bank HSDB

Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) on compact disc from the Canadian Center for Occupational Health and Safety (can buy at CCOHS web site). "The HSDB(R) (Hazardous Substances Data Bank(R)) database contains data profiles on 4,500 potentially toxic chemical substances. It is created and updated by specialists at the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Compiled from an extensive range of authoritative sources, HSDB is widely recognized as a reliable and practical source of health and safety information. Much of the data is peer reviewed. 

The following is a synopsis of current scientific toxicity and fate information for the top chemicals (by weight) that facilities within this sector self-reported as released to the environment based upon TRI data. The information contained below is based upon exposure assumptions that have been conducted using standard scientific procedures. The effects listed must be taken in context of these exposure assumptions that are more fully explained within the full chemical profiles in the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) and the Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), both accessed via the Internet.

CAS Registry Number (CASRN) This unique identifier is assigned by the American Chemical Society to chemicals recorded in the CAS Registry System. This number is used to access various chemical databases including the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), CAS Online, Chemical Substances Information Network, and many others. This entry is also useful to conclusively identify a substance regardless of the assigned name. 

SIS s Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP) produces TOXNET (TOXNET 2007), a collection of toxicology and environmental health databases that includes, among others, the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), a database of potentially hazardous chemicals, TOXLINE (containing references to the world s toxicology literature), and ChemIDplus (a chemical dictionary and structure database).
