Toxicology Environmental Health Information

Toxicology Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP)... 

ToxSeek is an NLM metasearch engine and clustering tool that enables the simultaneous searching of many different toxicology and environmental health information databases and web sites. This tool includes 59 databases including the TOXNET Search tool, as well as information sources from NLM, NIH, US Government, International and other sources. 

Toxicology and Environmental Health Information (TOXNET) Databases covering toxicology and environmental health http yysis.nlm.nih.gov/ToVToxMain.html... 

The Division of Specialized Information Services (SIS), National Library of Medicine (NLM), creates information resources and services in toxicology, environmental health, chemistry, and HIV/AIDS (SIS 2007). 

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). 

Some SIS products help to address the toxicology and environmental health information needs of the general public. One such resource is ToxTown, an interactive guide to toxic chemicals and environmental health issues in everyday locations. It is a companion to the extensive information in the TOXNET collection of databases. The Household Products Database is a consumer s guide that provides information on the potential health effects of chemicals contained in more than 5000 common household products used inside and around the home. This database allows consumers, scientists, and health professionals to investigate ingredients in brand-name products.

TEHIP s primary information resource repository is the TOXNET system of databases. TOXNET comprises databases of summary toxicological information, technical literature, references, chemical nomenclature, and toxic releases. It also provides links to additional sources of information on toxicology, environmental health, and hazardous chemicals. The contents of the TOXNET databases are derived from federal agencies such as the US Environmental Protection Agency, the National Cancer Institute, and NLM itself.
