Foreword
The Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances is in the process of identifying
the needs for relationships between the Environmental Protection Agency
and the States in the area of chemicals management. Included in this
study will be the need for a relationship respecting the sharing of
chemical information.
This manual was compiled to provide State environmental, health and
natural resources staff with a thorough reference of several available
and expected chemical information resources. The manual was compiled
through a contract with Koba Associates, Inc., a Washington-based consulting
firm.

INTRODUCTION
The Chemical Information Resources Handbook was developed for presentation
at 35 nationwide orientation sessions in chemical information resources. The
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sponsored these sessions to promote an
understanding of the resources available in the ubiquitous field of chemical
information. The sessions, as does this handbook, focused on automated infor-
mation systems because these resources can sharply reduce the time and expense
of identifying and obtaining most types of chemical information. Moreover, the
management of toxic and hazardous substances requires comprehensive access to
timely chemical information from a broad spectrum of sources.
This handbook describes most of the more important chemical information
resources available and accessable through government and private organizations.
The handbook provides a framework for searching and retrieving information on
chemical toxicology, environmental effects, spill responses, disposal methods,
ambient air and water concentrations, control technologies, and existing
regulations.
We have included both the currently available and proposed chemical infor-
mation resources so that the handbook user can begin using the existing databases
and can also be aware of some of the new sources of information that will be
available in the future. One such resource will be available on a limited basis
within one year and will provide its users access to many of the individual
databases described in this handbook. This resource, the Chemical Substances
Information Network (CSIN), is described in detail in Section III.
Federal agencies have broad information-gathering powers under the regula-
tory statutes -- the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), the Consumer Product
Safety Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, and the
Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, among others. Particularly under TSCA, there is a
need to obtain substantial amounts of up-to-date information quickly.
Therefore, it is important for this information-gathering process to be effi-
cient and for the information to be available to everyone needing it. And so
several of the described resources provide data that has been collected by the
government.
An important factor to consider when using any chemical information
resource, automated or not, is the validity of the data. Data retrieved from a
computer is no more valid than the printed resource, or other input, from which
it was obtained. The use of automated chemical information resources gives the
researcher a slight advantage, because the volume of data available, within the
research time alotted, increases dramatically. Thus, if the results of a search
on one system is replicated by several others, the validity of the data is not
as suspect. However, the strongest method of assessing the validity of the data
is using your own judgment based on your requirements for the data and an
evaluation, where possible, of the design and materials used in the study that
yielded the data.

HOW TO USE THIS HANDBOOK
This handbook of chemical information resources is designed to meet the
needs of persons concerned with chemical substances. It gives the chemical
information user a guide to bibliographic search systems, computerized data
systems, chemical lists, and other relevant publications.
The first step in using this handbook is to identify the types of
data/information required. Figure 1 is a matrix which cross-references environ-
mental functions with typical types of data required for their performance.
The user should also assess the form of information he or she wishes to use:
bibliographic, computerized data, lists of chemicals, or publications containing
information and data. The content and form of data or information needed will
determine which resources are compatible with the requirements.
Once the type of data needed has been determined, you should refer to the
Matrix of Chemical Information Resources beginning on page seven. This matrix
relates content and form of information to resources that can meet the needs.
Use of this matrix will result in a list of information resources to be
considered. The information searcher should then refer to the directory of
databases and read the descriptions of these candidate resources.
Based on these descriptions, the information researcher should be able to
identify the resources that will meet the needs of any specific situation. For
each chemical information resource, the handbook provides:
description of each data system,
scope - data content of system,
file structure,
access/availability,
cost for use,
t output form and format.
A practical plan for use of these resources can be developed based on
a selective review of each resource description and sample output.

CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES INFORMATION NETWORK - A SYSTEM OF SYSTEMS
The Chemical Substances Information Network (CSIN) is being developed in
response to the massive data requirements of chemical regulation, toxicological
research, chemical manufacture, and related activities. The system will place a
valuable new tool, capable of accessing diverse types of chemical-related data,
in the hands of federal and local government agencies, scientists, educators,
public interest groups, and others. This will be accomplished by linking and
coordinating data from several independent chemical-related information systems;
which together will provide access to greater capabilities than any existing
system currently supplies.
The network will meet information needs more effectively than the
multiple specialized data systems. At this time, no single specialized data
system satisfies all user requirements. The network will accommodate differ-
ences as they evolve, providing both the integration and diversity that are
needed.
CSIN's prime goals are to simplify chemical data acquisition and to make
comprehensive data available to a broad user population. Objectives related to
the fulfillment of these goals include:
integrating relevant federal and private databases in a coordinated
fashion;
providing access to a variety of databases without opening several
accounts and learning various log-on and searching procedures;
reducing the time involved in conducting a data search;
t using the results from one information resource to formulate
queries to other resources; and
providing the user with an interactive source word thesaurus capable
of relating the input subject to the system vocabulary and ulti-
mately identifying a list of CSIN resources relevant to the subject.
Figure 2 illustrates the prototype network system. Users will use the
network through the public telecommunications network accessible through online
terminals. Chemical identities will be determined through the Chemical
Structure Nomenclature System (CSNS). For each chemical identity a unique ID
number, called the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number will be
ascertained.
Once the substance has been identified through the CSNS, the National
Library of Medicine (NLM), Chemicals in Commerce Information System (CICIS), and
commercially available systems will be simultaneously accessable for chemical
-------
information. The network component systems will provide hard data , as well as
bibliographic and research data, including:
nomenclature
t properties
production and commerce
products and uses
exposure
effects
studies and research
§ regulations and controls.
CSIN will provide system users with greater capabilities than any single
chemical information system that is currently available. Functional capabili-
ties currently envisioned include:
determining the location of data relevant to the user's request in
the network;
formulating queries to various systems in the network to retrieve
relevant data;
using the results of queries from one information resource to for-
mulate queries to other databases;
collecting and integrating results from several information
resources and delivering them to the user;
a global query language which allows a user to access data from
various databases with a single inquiry;
user defined query procedures; and
direct use of certain CSIN components when such access is the best
means of supplying the needed data.
CSIN will provide access to virtually every discipline relating to chemi-
cals and their management. The current pre-prototype version of CSIN provides
the user with the ability to identify chemicals on the basis of chemical name or
structure; supplies online bibliographic reference to chemical, toxicological,
and medical information; and provides access to the production, biological and
environmental effects, and exposure of specified chemicals in commerce. Future
capabilities may come from databases which contain data on federal and state
regulations regarding toxic substances; protocols for ongoing toxicology experi-
ments; baseline pathology data on control animal strains; additional
bibliographic data from various private and public sources; and user prompted
graphic data evaluation of monitoring and other numeric data.

AEROS
The Aerometric and Emissions Reporting System (AEROS) was established by
the Environmental Protection Agency to serve as a management information system
for EPA's air pollution research and control programs. As such, AEROS is mainly
concerned with the collection, processing, and reporting of basic air pollution
data. Various supplementary data files are also maintained to provide addi-
tional information valuable for the preparation and analysis of air pollution
data.
The major data components of AEROS are ambient air quality data and air
pollution source and emissions data. The former consists of air quality moni-
toring site descriptions and their data, plus pollutant arid method reporting
codes. Emission point sources test results are also included. The outputs are
published reports and raw data output listings. Volume I of the reports is a
system summary. Volume II is a system user manual. Volume III, the AEROS
Summary and Retrieval Manual, is intended for those who want to obtain data from
AEROS. Volume III describes AEROS reports, how they may be used, and gives
instructions on how to obtain them. Volume IV is the National Air Data Branch
(NADB) Internal Operations Manual, which documents, in detail, all NADB proce-
dures related to AEROS. Certain portions of Volume IV may be of interest to
persons interested in all details of AEROS operations, but is intended mainly as
a guide for NADB personnel. Volume V is the AEROS Coding Manual. It contains
tables of standard emission codes for use with Volume II.
Data Files:
AEROS consists of ten data storage and retrieval subsystems:
1. The National Emissions Data System (NEDS), which stores and reports
source and emissions-related data for the five criteria pollutants
(particulates, SOx, NOx, CO, and hydrocarbons).
2. The Storage and Retrieval of Aerometric Data (SAROAD) system, which
stores and reports information relating to ambient air quality
covering 65 pollutants and which includes site data.
3. The Hazardous and Trace Substance Emissions System (HATREMS), which
stores and reports sources and emissions data for non-criteria
pollutants.
4. The Source Test Data (SOTDAT) system, which stores and retrieves
relevant technical data collected during source emission measure-
ments (i.e., stack tests).
5. The State Implementation Plans (SIPS) regulation system, which pro-
vides retrievals of EPA-approved state air pollution control
regulations.
-------
11
6. The Emissions History Information System (EHIS), which provides
historical trends information on nationwide emissions, and may also
function as a computerized technique for examination of air pollu-
tant emissions scenarios.
7. The Weighted Sensitivity Analysis Program (WSAP), which operates on
NEDS data to compute the variance which can be tolerated in the
emission estimate for each source category in order that some
overall user-specified limit shall not be exceeded.
8. The Source Inventory and Emission Factor Analysis (SIEFA) program,
which complements WSAP by computing the actual (as opposed to
allowable) imprecision in emission estimates for each source cate-
gory in NEDS due to imprecision in emission inventory techniques and
source data.
9. The Computer Assisted Area Source Emissions (CAASE) System, which
calculates county ambient emissions levels.
10. The Regional Emissions Projection System (REPS), which does regional
emission projections up to the year 2000.
Access:
Standard AEROS reports are published periodically and are available from
the EPA Air Pollution Technical Information Center (APTIC) at Research Triangle
Park, NC, or the National Technical Information Service (NTIS) in Springfield,
VA. Many of the standard published reports and a number of additional standard
reports are also readily available from the National Air Data Branch (NADB),
Research Triangle Park, NC, or from the ten EPA Regional Offices. To meet
requirements not met by standard AEROS reports, it is also often possible to
restructure and report data as required in response to special requests.
Cost:
Not available.
Sample Search/Output:
The AEROS data base provides the following types of standard reports:
1. Particulate (total suspended particulates).
2. Sulfur dioxide, daily values.
3. Sulfur dioxide, 24-hour averages.
4. Sulfur dioxide, 3-hour averages.
5. Sulfur dioxide, 1-hour averages.
-------
12
6. CO, 1-hour averages.
7. CO, 8-hour averages.
8. Total oxidants.
9. NOx, daily averages.
10. NOx, hourly averages.
In addition, it provides inventory reports by site, or by pollutant.
Below is an example of an inventory report by pollutant for the state of
Alabama.

CAB ABSTRACTS is a comprehensive file of agricultural information con-
taining all records in the 31 journals published by the Commonwealth
Agricultural Bureaux (CAB). CAB has long been recognized as a leading scien-
tific information service in agriculture and certain fields of applied biology.
Sixteen abstracting units contribute to CAB ABSTRACTS. Each unit, located adja-
cent to a leading research organization in the United Kingdom and staffed by
scientists, specializes in a particular aspect of agriculture, and selects and
prepares material to be published in the journals for which it is responsible.
Over 8,500 serial journals in 37 languages are scanned, as well as books,
reports, and other publications. In some instances, less accessible literature
is abstracted by scientists working in other countries. About 150,000 items are
selected for publication yearly; significant papers are abstracted, while less
important works are reported with bibliographic details only.
CAB ABSTRACTS covers every branch of the agricultural sciences, including
cooperatives, economics, education, engineering, genetics, pest control, rural
planning, and taxonomy.
Access:
A search on CAB ABSTRACTS can be conducted on the DIALOG information
retrieval system. For further information about the DIALOG system, consult

CEH
The Chemical Economics Handbook (CEH) is a multi-volume loose-leaf book
concerned with the economic status and progress of the world's chemical
industries. Participants (subscribers) are kept informed regarding the present
and future status of raw materials, primary and intermediate chemicals, chemical
product groups, the chemical industry, and those aspects of other industries and
the total economy that are relevant to the chemical industry. Emphasis is
placed on future markets, both in terms of quantities and economies of chemi-
cals produced/consumed and the technological requirements of future demand.
Sections of the CEH are: Introduction; Index; Economic Indicators; Manual
of Current Indicators; Industry; Chemicals. The main body of CEH is made up of
Reports and Data Sheets concerning individual chemicals or groups of chemicals.
Data Sheets are summaries including data on chemical production, sales,
consumption, price, manufacturing processes, producing companies, plant
locations, plant capacities, imports, exports, and sources used. Yearly growth
rates can be extrapolated and compared using the standardized graphs and a
special protractor, included with each CEH set.
Reports contain detailed analytical sections on topics covered by Data
Sheets. CEH Reports are written by subject specialists and reviewed by colla-
borating experts in the chemical industry, market researchers, or product
managers.
A "Manual of Current Indicators" section reporting recent economic sta-
tistics is updated and reissued every other month.
CEH contains chemical industry economic indicators such as product growth
curves, production quantities, inventory data, price, and export/import ratios.
Plant locations, capacities and other data are gathered and updated
occasionally. Specialized volumes deal with specific industries such as
pesticides.
Access:
CEH is available from SRI International, Memlo Park, CA.
Cost:
Hard copy is available for $7,500-9,000 depending on the number of spe-
cialized volumes desired. Computer tape with data listed therein are available.
Monthly indexes for the main body of the handbook and for the specialized vol-
umes are available at a subscription cost.

CHEMTREC
Scope:
CHEMTREC (the Chemical Transportation Emergency Center) is an information
center which provides immediate hazard warnings and guidance to those on the
scene of a chemical transportation accident or emergency. Available by
telephone 24 hours a day, CHEMTREC may be used by any carrier, shipper,
emergency service, or other persons encountering a transport-related chemical
spill, leak, fire, release, exposure, or accident. Persons who notice or
suspect a leak, spill, or potential problem concerning chemicals in transport
should contact CHEMTREC for assistance in preventing or remedying an emergency.
CHEMTREC will attempt to ascertain the name(s) of the product, nature of
the problem, location, shipper, manufacturer, container type, rail car or truck
number, carrier name, consignee, and local conditions (weather, population
density) from the individual who contacts the center.
CHEMTREC maintains extensive files for the identification of trade names,
chemical names, shippers, and carriers. Using these files, CHEMTREC personnel
provide the caller with indications of the hazards involved and give specific
instructions for handling the emergency. CHEMTREC personnel then contact the
shipper and relay the particulars of the emergency, thus passing responsibility
for further guidance to the shipper. In some cases, manufacturers, government
agencies, police, or emergency services will be contacted directly.
The file contains 3,100 chemical dossiers searchable under 15,000 trade
names. It provides 900 personal contact names for expert consultation
regarding the chemical. The database is a manual card file.
Access:
Access is obtained by a telephone call to the Chemical Manufacturers
Association (800-424-9300).

CICIS
The Chemicals in Commerce Information System (CICIS) is an online
interactive management information system for the Office of Toxic Substances,
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Its purpose is to store and enable uti-
lization of information and data collected under the mandates of the Toxic
Substances Control Act (TSCA). Much of CICIS1 content is proprietary, but it is
anticipated that a portion of the file with non-proprietary data will be made
publicly available.
CICIS is being developed in modular stages. The first available and core
module is the TSCA Inventory, containing chemical identification and production
data submitted to EPA in 1978 by chemical manufacturers and importers as
required under TSCA. Additional modules are to contain information on usage,
health and safety studies, exposure, environmental effects, test results, pro-
duction updates, disposal methods, and byproducts and impurities, in support of
risk assessment of specific chemicals or groups of chemicals, or monitoring,
environmental, planning and management, and other activities that assess the
extent of the environmental program in certain localities or media. Most of
these data will be submitted by chemical manufacturers as required under TSCA.
Data Files:
Among the subsystems planned for the completed CISIS are:
Chemical Inventory System: for management of industry-reported data
on chemical substances currently manufactured, processed, or imported
into the U.S.; also contains data on manufacturers, processors, and
importers.
Premanufacture Submissions Module: allows users to display selected
portions of data submitted in premanufacture notices.
Chemical Information Database: includes data in the current
Inventory, plus additional data from submissions.
Organization/Site Database: will contain data specific to all
industry submitters of data.
t Health and Safety Subsystem: will keep track of health and safety
studies submitted for risk assessment activities. Some data from
the studies may also be stored in this database.
Test Results Subsystems: stores test result data received under
TSCA and from other sources. Results will be linked to chemicals,
documents and other data in the database.
-------
41
Access:
The system is currently accessible by application to the U.S. EPA Office
of Toxic Substances in Washington, D.C. (202-755-9336). Access to confidential
information must be proceeded by EPA clearance. Ultimate access will be made
available through CSIN. (See Section III of this handbook.)

CRYST
Scope:
The Cambridge Crystallographic Database (CRYST) comprises files of
bibliographic, chemical connectivity and numeric structural data, for organics,
organometallics and metal complexes studied by X-ray and neutron diffraction.
The files, covering the literature from 1935 and maintained on a current basis,
presently contain information on some 25,000 structural studies. Certain cate-
gories of information, particularly bibliographic, are disseminated in printed
form via the Molecular Structures and Dimensions series.
The database currently available under the CRYST component of the
Chemical Information System (CIS) has been derived directly from the Cambridge
University Crystal 1ographic Data Centre database. Some 17,601 of the compounds
in the CRYST database have now undergone registry processing at the Chemical
Abstracts Service to create the corresponding (SANSS) database. Of the 17,601
items, some 1,135 were considered to be non-registrable. The remaining 16,466
items resulted in the identification of the 14,860 unique compounds in this
SANSS collection. When displaying compounds retrieved from this collection,
local identifiers will be cited in terms of the registry number with a two digit
sub-identifier suffix. These numbers will serve as the identifiers for the com-
pounds in the CRYST system when the CRYST and SANSS are automatically interfaced
in the near future. (See SANSS.)
Access:
CRYST is available through the Chemical Information System (CIS). For
information about how to access CIS, consult Appendix A.
Cost:

designed to be a database concerning chemicals and their relation to the
environment to be used by the European Community. The ECDIN project, begun in
1973, is presently in pilot phase implementation at the Commission of the
European Communities' Joint Research Center (JRC), Ispra, Italy. It is
available online through the European Informatics Network (EIN) on an experi-
mental basis and will be available online through the Commission of the
European Communities' European Online Information Network (EURCNET).
ECDIN will contain relevant information on commercial chemicals produced
in excess of 500 kilograms/year, some toxic natural products, compounds with
significant toxicity, and by-products in manufacture and their metabolic
degradation products.
Some 30,000 chemicals will be covered in ECDIN. The current pilot imple-
mentation has various amounts of data concerning 4,000 compounds. ECDIN will
have full substructure search and display components. ECDIN has 10 categories
of data for chemical substances: identification; chemical structure
information; physical and chemical properties; analytical methods; supply,
production, and trade; transport, packing, handling and storage; use and
disposal; dispersion and transformation in the environment; effects of the
chemical on the environment (toxicity); and regulatory data.
ECDIN encompasses some 100 data fields organized into 10 "data
categories." These data categories largely reflect the system's file structure.
All data categories and files are linked to some degree by the compound file.
The 10 data categories are:
1. Identification
2. Chemical Structure Information
3. Physical and Chemical Properties
4. Analytical Methods
5. Supply, Production and Trade
6. Transport, Packing, Handling and Storage
7. Use and Disposal

names to retrieve sales and employment data for any large public or private
manufacturing or mining company. The EIS PLANTS file also permits the user to
frame questions within the limits of any desired U.S. Census Bureau region,
state, county, city, zip code, Business Economic Area (BEA), Standard
Metropolitan Statistical Area (SMSA), and parent company state, city and zip
code (or combinations thereof). Resultant records may be sorted in order of
sales or in estimated share of the market. Data are generated from business
magazines, trade journals, state and industrial directories, corporate financial
reports, and Census Bureau statistics. Also included are thousands of inputs
received directly from companies and corporations.

ETIC
The Environmental Teratology Information Center (ETIC) specializes in the
dissemination of information related to the evaluation of chemical, biological,
and physical agents for teratogenic activity. ETIC uses the ETIC online data
base and in-house subject expertise to answer user queries.
ETIC's information base is derived largely from reported testing which
involves the administration of a chemical agent to a pregnant animal and sub-
sequent examination of the offspring at or near birth for structural or func-
tional anomalies, and from reports implicating agents which produce defects in
man. Additional references are obtained from the open literature on testing and
evaluation of chemical, biological and physical agents and of dietary deficien-
cies in warm-blooded animals. There are 16,000 entries dating back to 1950
describing 4,000 suspect or known teratogens. The file provides citations and
lists of expert consultants. Some 1,200 citations are added per year.
Access:
The ETIC is accessible through the National Library of Medicine Regional
Libraries or directly from ETIC at:
NIEHS
P.O. Box 12233
Research Triangle Park, MC 27709

HEEDA
Scope:
The Health Effects and Environmental Data Analysis System (HEEDA) is
currently under development and is being designed to provide a mechanism for
testing and evaluating various structure activity models. The goal is to
develop set of methods for discovering quantitative structure/activity
relationships. These relationships are sought in a multi-stage process:
Organize substances by chemical structure classes;
Construct class oriented models of the substances from descriptive
characteristics;
Obtain valid end effects data; and
Correlate the structural characteristics of the models with the
known effects data.
In essence, the system will have two major components. One component
manages chemical descriptive and structural data and the end effects data, and
the other contains the predictive models or ranking algorithms that operate on
the data.
There is currently no single source for the data for either chemicals or
effects; therefore, HEEDA can benefit from the existence of CSIN to bring
together data from other systems for structure activity analysis. Possible
sources of data are:
Post Experimental Information System (PEIS) of the Toxicology Data
Management System (TDMS)
Chemical Substance Nomenclature System (CSNS)
Chemicals In Commerce Information System (CICIS)
NIOSH Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS)
Access:
Not available at the present time. HEEDA is being considered for inclu-
sion as a CSIN component database.

HMSM
The Hazardous Materials Spill Monitoring - Safety Handbook and Chemical
Hazard Guide (HMSM) is an EPA generated manual Intended to provide information
on how to prevent accidental exposure to hazardous materials and on first-aid
measures in the event of an accident.
The compounds in the HMSM correspond to those in the Chemical Spills data-
base compiled by the Water and Land Quality Branch, Monitoring Operations
Divisions, Environmental Monitoring and Support Laboratory of the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. That database includes all chemicals ten-
tatively designated as hazardous by the EPA in the Federal Register, Vol 39, No.
169, Aug. 22, 1974, all chemicals in the U.S. Coast Guard "CHRIS" manuals, Jan.
1974, and those hazardous materials reported as spilled during the period
1970-1974. The manual indicates, for each compound, recommended safety proce-
dures for entering a spill area, the principal hazards associated with a spill,
and the recommended immediate action to be taken (prior to the arrival of medi-
cal aid) in the event of exposure. Compounds are indexed in this manual by
name; common synonyms as well as available trade names are included. A priority
listing of the compounds based upon their hazard ratings and reported spill fre-
quency is also included.

IEDC
Scope:
The Ion Energetics Data Center (IEDC) at the National Bureau of Standards
offers a database of critically evaluated ion energetics measurements. A
comprehensive publication of these evaluated data and associated measurements,
references, and critical commentary has been published (H.M. Rosenstock, K.
Draxl, B. Steiner and J.T. Herron, "Energetics of Gaseous Ions" J. Phys. Chem.
Ref. Data 6, Supplement 1 (1977)). The database will also be part of the
Chemical Information System (CIS).
A major component of this evaluated database is first ionization poten-
tials of over 3,100 neutral organic and inorganic species, and heats of formation
of many precursors. The ionization potential measurements are based on all per-
tinent techniques including spectroscopy, photoelectron spectroscopy,
photoionization, electron impact, and other less widely used techniques.

IRLG SKILLS INVENTORY
Scope:
The Interagency Regulatory Liaison Group (IRLG) Skills Inventory is a com-
puterized database containing the records of approximately 3,600 professional
personnel from four IRLG Agencies (CPSC, EPA, FDA and OSHA). The system is
ideally suited to identification of employees whose background and experience
are tailored to meet a particular short-term need. Response to the system has
been voluntary. Employees filled out questionnaires indicating qualifications
or professional abilities which might be utilized in special assignments. To
enable administrative personnel to identify individuals in the database, several
easily searchable indexes have been defined as follows:
Organization Experience (500 categories)
Location Chemical or substance expertise
Discipline Language
Specialty areas
Results of the searches can be a listing of the entire record or any portion
thereof for each selected person. Reports tailored to each specific request can
be produced. Optionally, statistical reports of how many persons meet search
criteria can also be produced.
Access:
Requests should be made in writing (other than emergencies) and directed
to: Ms. Linda M. Billings, TS-793, Office of Pesticides and Toxic Substances,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 401 M Street, S.W., Room 415 ET,
Washington, D.C. 20460, telephone: (FTS) 426-9408.
The Privacy Act requires certain restrictions on use of the system.
Information collected in response to the Skills Inventory may be used only
internally by personnel in EPA, CPSC, FDA, or OSHA to identify individuals
having appropriate expertise for appointment or nomination to working groups and
task forces, provision of consultative support on projects, and contact on
collaborative studies. These activities may be in support of agency goals or in
furtherance of IRLG mandates. The system may not be used in conjunction with
any personnel action under the Merit Promotion Program, or any other system.

LADB
Scope:
The Laboratory Animal Data Bank (LADB) is an online interactive database
sponsored by the National Library of Medicine and the Department of Health
and Human Services Committee to Coordinate Toxicology and Related Programs.
LADB is designed to provide control baseline data on major strains of labora-
tory animals. Most of these data are not available from the published journal
literature, technical reports, texts, or handbooks, and hence has been collected
directly from research institutions. LADB is searched using a detailed user-
response (menu) approach or by direct commands. Additionally, LADB has a pro-
cessing capability which allows the user to enter his/her own data for
comparison against baseline files. This provides a means for statistical com-
parison of control animal response with the user's test animal response. LADB
also assists the user in determining protocol, environmental and husbandry fac-
tors used to control each animal colony, and in selecting baseline data from
colonies of the user's choice for numerous measured or observed variables.
Output may be printed or displayed as preset formatted reports or as user-
selected distribution curves or reports.
Only two of five planned files have currently been implemented. The
Strain file contains descriptions and facts on various animal species and
strains used in research activities. Data and information concern normal, not
experimentally manipulated, animals. The Baseline file contains detailed cli-
nical chemistry, hematology, pathology, growth/1ifespan, environmental, and ani-
mal husbandry data for over 70 animal colonies.
Data Files:
1. Baseline File
2. Strain File
3. Husbandry File (to be implemented)
4. Protocol File (to be implemented)
5. Analytical Procedures (to be implemented)
Access:
LADB is currently available online to experimental users only through the
National Library of Medicine.

FROM THE LACRIMAL SECRETION OF CALVES WITH AN ACUTE INFECTION IN TWO
OF A TOTAL OF FOUR INVESTIGATED FARMS WITH A RECORD OF INFECTIOUS
KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS. IN ABOUT 70% OF THE CALVES THAT SURVIVED
THERE WERE COMPLEMENT-FIXING ANTIBODIES AGAINST THE NEORICKETTSIAL
ANTIGEN, THE TITERS RANGING FROM 1:8 TO 1:64. CALVES THAT YIELDED
THE CAUSATIVE AGENT WERE INVESTIGATED IN TERMS OF THE ANTIBODY

DEMONSTRATED IN ANIMALS THAT HAD SURVIVED. ONE OF THE ISOLATED
STRAINS WAS USED TO INFECT (VIA THE EXTERNAL CAMERA OCULI) A RABBIT.
ACUTE KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS FOLLOWED, AND THE BLOOD SERUM OF THE
RABBIT WAS FOUND TO CONTAIN COMPLEMENT-FIXING ANTIBODIES OF A TITER
WITH THE 1:8-1:16 RANGE FROM THE 30th DAY ON. A NEORICKETTSIAL
STRAIN WAS ALSO ISOLATED FROM THE OCULAR SECRETION OF A DOG WITH
SEROFIBRINOUS KERATOCONJUNCTIVITIS, AND THIS WAS REGARDED AS A
RARELY ENCOUNTERED FINDING.

MSSS
Scope:
The Mass Spectral Search System (MSSS) is an online, interactive data-
base available through the Chemical Information System (CIS). It contains over
30,000 searchable substances' spectra with references arid over 60,000
bibliographic entries concerning mass spectrometry. Mass Spectral, mass/charge
(M/E) values, and relative intensities, molecular weight, and molecular formula
are included in the spectral subfile, as are Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
Registry Numbers, CAS names, and a quality index rating for retrieved spectra.
Mass Spectrometry bulletin bibliographic subfile includes author, year of
publication, elements, and index terms. Pattern recognition-based searching
capabilities may be applied to user input spectra or database extant spectra.
Following are MSSS online capabilities:
Mass spectral data has been incorporated into MSSS from a variety of
sources: government agencies, reference books and collections, industry, and
individual researchers. Data are reviewed and a spectral Quality Index assigned
to each spectrum prior to incorporation into MSSS.
Offline Complete Spectrum Search (BATCH): A version of the complete
spectrum search program KB; accepts input data and holds it until the search can
be run in nonprime time.
Element Search (EIE): Accepts any atomic symbol and retrieves all bulle-
tin indexed references to that element.
SPEC: Allows examination of any complete mass spectrum.
General Index Search (INDEX): Searches the general index of the Mass
Spectrometry Bulletin.
Complete Spectrum Search (KE): Permits the sequential comparison of
unknown spectrum to each spectrum in the MSSS Database or the user's own pri-
vate mass spectral files.
Calculation of Isotopic Incorporation Levels (LAB):: Accepts all or part
of the mass spectrum of an isotopically labelled compound together with the same
part of the mass spectrum of the corresponding unlabelled compound and uses
these data to determine the mole fractions of all the isotopically labelled spe-
cies in the former.
Metastable Ion Calculator (META): Calculates the M/E values of the
various metastable ions that correspond to a given parent/daughter pair.
Molecular Formula Search (MF): Permits the user to search for all mass
spectra of compounds with a given complete molecular formula. (The option 'PF1
permits searches for partial molecular formulas.)
-------
101
Calculate Formulas from Accurate Masses (MOLFOR): Accepts an accurately
determined M/E value and calculates all possible atomic compositions that have
approximately the same accurate mass.
Molecular Weight Search (MW): Searches for spectra of compounds by spe-
cified molecular weight.
Plot a Spectrum on a Graphics Device (PLOT): Plots a spectrum as a bar
graph.
Peaks and Complete Molecular Formulas (PMF): Searches for all spectra
containing given peaks and corresponding compounds with a specific molecular
formula.
Peaks and Molecular Weight (PMW): Searches for all compounds having a
given molecular weight and with specific peaks in their mass spectra.
Spectrum Similarity Calculation (SIM): The spectrum dissimilarity calcu-
lation permits the user to establish the quantitative dissimilarity between any
two mass spectra. The spectra may both be from the database, or one may be from
the user's spectrum and the other a possible hit from the database.
Spectrum Retrieval (SPEC): Uses the ID number of a mass spectrum
(provided as a result of any search through the database) to find and retrieve
the complete spectrum in question.
Subject Search (SUBJECT): Allows a search through the cumulative subject
index of the Mass Spectrometry Bulletin.
Access:
MSSS is available through the Chemical Information System (CIS). For
information about how to access CIS, consult Appendix A.
Cost:
The cost of using MSSS is $36 per connect hour. In addition to the search
costs, there is an annual $300 subscription fee, which is used to defray storage
costs.

NOHS
Scope:
The National Occupational Hazard Survey (NOHS) was a two-year study, ini-
tiated in 1972, which intended to describe the health and safety conditions in
the American work environment and, more specifically, to determine the extent
of worker exposure to chemical and physical agents. The businesses par-
ticipating in the survey were selected by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and
consisted of approximately 4,750 establishments in 67 metropolitan areas
throughout the United States. This sample was chosen to be representative of
all non-agricultural businesses covered under the Occupational Safety and
Health Act of 1970. Each of the selected business establishments was visited
by a member of a professionally trained survey team, where the survey itself
consisted of two major parts. In the first part, appropriate management per-
sonnel were interviewed, using as the basis of the interview a standard set of
50 questions regarding facility policies and conditions relevant to employee
safety and health. In the second part, a walkthrough investigation of the
facility was conducted. In this walkthrough potential hazards were noted, the
occupational titles of the people exposed were coded, and the intended control
procedures utilized in connection with the hazard were recorded. A three
volume NIOSH publication, the National Occupational Hazard Survey, describes
the survey itself (Volume I - Survey manual), and the subsequent database and
retrieval system development (Volume II - Data Editing and Database
Development), and provides tabular compilations of some of the database sta-
tistics (Volume III -Survey Analysis and Supplemental Tables).

NSRDS
Reliable reporting of physical and chemical properties related to toxic
chemicals is essential to environmental assessment and chemical spill or waste
regulation and management.
The National Standard Reference Data System (NSRDS) was established in
1963 as a means of coordinating, on a national scale, the production and
dissemination of critically evaluated reference data in the physical sciences.
Under the Standard Reference Data Act (Public Law 90-396), the National Bureau
of Standards (NBS) of the U.S. Department of Commerce has the primary respon-
sibility in the Federal Government for providing reliable scientific and tech-
nical reference data. The Office of Standard Reference Data of NBS coordinates
a complex of data evaluation centers, located in university, industrial, and
other Government laboratories as well as within the National Bureau of
Standards, which are engaged in the compilation and critical evaluation of
numerical data on physical and chemical properties retrieved from the world
scientific literature.
The primary focus of the NSRDS is on well-defined physical and chemical
properties of well-character!'zed materials or systems. An effort is made to
assess the accuracy of data reported in the primary research literature and to
prepare compilations of critically evaluated data which will serve as reliable
and convenient reference sources for the scientific and technical community.
Publications:
NSRDS publishes the Journal of Physical and Chemical Reference Data
containing standard data developments.
NSRDS/NBS publishes a series of data monographs which report NBS test
results.
NSRDS publishes data from other sources related to properties of
chemicals. These include Russian translations.
§ NSRDS publishes computer programs for data handling .
NSRDS makes available programs on mag tape for data management.
Access:
The National Standard Reference Data System publications are available
from a variety of sources, including the American Chemical Society (ACS);
American Institute of Physics (AIP); the Superintendent of Documents, U.S.
Government Printing Office (GPO); the National Technical Information Service
(NTIS); the Office of Standard Reference Data (OSRD); as well as private
publishers and societies.

OCPDB
The Organic Chemical Producers' Database (OCPDB) is an online interac-
tive data resource designed to provide data on organic chemicals which the EPA
may use to analyze and assess the U.S. organic chemical industry.
OCPDB contains production and toxicity data for over 600 commercial chemi-
cals produced in the U.S. Data on production sites, production volumes, prices,
production processes, feedstocks or raw materials, chemical intermediates, chem-
ical emissions during production, toxicity hazard ratings, end uses, sales
estimates, and chemical identification data including Wiswesser Line Notations
(WIN) have been collected from the open literature and government reports.
In addition to online data retrieval, high level software programs are
available to generate inputs in a batch mode.
The OCPDB is composed of chemical-related and producer-related data items.
The 600 commercial chemicals in the database include the toxic pollutants for
which EPA is establishing air and water quality criteria. In addition to other
priority substances, information from the open literature and government reports
are included from 1976 to the present.

OHM-TADS
The Oil and Hazardous Materials Technical Assistance Data System
(OHM-TADS) is designed to include all information pertinent to spill response
efforts related to any material designated as an oil or hazardous material. As
such, it includes a wide variety of physical, chemical, biological,
toxicological, and commercial data. However, the greatest emphasis is placed on
the deleterious effects these materials may have on water quality.
OHM-TADS is an automated information retrieval file designated to facili-
tate rapid retrievel of information on 1,000 oil and hazardous substances. Data
files were constructed in such a manner that a systematic query program could
prove of great value, both for online response to spill incidents, and for sum-
mary evaluation relating to enforcement and research activities.
The prime function of the files is to provide immediate feedback of infor-
mation on hazardous substances to spill response team personnel. Individual
segments contain both numerical data and interpretive comments. These can serve
as background for decision-making and guidelines to initiate corrective action.
The completed files can also be used as a source of diverse information on
hazardous substances as a whole, allowing research and enforcement authorities
to assess areas where more work or stricter regulations are needed.

judgment in deciding when stated precautions are no
longer necessary. For most circumstances, eye
protection, hard hats, and gloves are recommended.

109. AHL Acute Hazard Level: Attempts to indicate level of
hazard resulting from a spill. Relates to inhalation,
ingestion and contact with material. Also lists
specific water use hazard level such as fish toxicity
and irrigation water toxicity.
110. CHL Chronic Hazard Level: Interprets chronic toxicolog-
ical-biological hazard to life forms subjected to
material of interest for extended periods of time.
111. HEL Degree of Hazard to Public Health: Interpretive sum-
mary of data from previous segments. This segment
focuses on those toxicological chemical hazards
directly affecting public health.
112. AIR Air Pollution: Summarizes degree of hazard to people
in the vicinity of a spill. May refer to fumes,
vapors, mists, or dusts of the material spilled or its
combustion and/or decomposition products.
113. ACT Action Levels: An interpretive segment designed to
aid in initiating response activities. Suggests noti-
fication of fire and air authority if material poses
flammability or air hazard. Recommends alerting Civil
Defense if explosion hazard exists. When explosion or
severe air pollution exists, evacuation is indicated.
If the material in question is highly corrosive or can
be absorbed through the skin at toxic levels, affected
waterways should be restricted from public access.
When flammable materials are involved, ignition sources
should be removed. Air contaminants require entry
from up wind. If the spill involves solids, attempts
should be made to prevent suspension of dusts in
the air. If the material is one that will form a
slick on water before dissolving, early attempts at
containment will be quite beneficial.
It is assumed that these actions will be complemented
by general defensive responses. These include,
notifying downstream water users of the spill,
stopping all leaks or diverting their flow from
reaching surface waters, and removing all bags,
barrels and/or other containers that may still be
leaking to the water body.

should be notified before disposal methods in segment
116 are initiated.
Industrial Fouling Potential: Relates potential
problems from use of water contaminated by the
material of interest. Generally refers to use in
boiler feed and cooling water. Materials with flash
points below 50°C are listed as potential rupture
hazards when included in boiler feed or cooling water.
Effect on Water Treatment Process: Describes poten-
tial interaction with typical water and wastewater
treatment facilities. Most frequent entries concern
effect of chlorination on the aesthetic properties of
contaminated water, and the effect of high con-
centration on sewage organisms.
Major Water Uses Threatened: Lists water uses
imperiled by a spill and consequently indicates what
type of downstream water users should be notified of
the spill.

the physical appearance of the material as shipped
(i.e., a dark red powder, etc.) and its probable loca-
tion if the spill occurs in or near surface water.
Soil Chemistry: A general description of the behavior
and exchange capacity of various cations and ions in
soil.
Water Chemistry: A general description of the
behavior of the material of interest in aqueous
solution.
Color in Water: Identifies the color or appearance of
concentrated solutions of the material of interest.
In many cases, dilution and material coloring will
minimize the visibility of the color listed here.
Adequacy of Data: A simple classification was used to
indicate the availability of data.
poor - indicates toxicological data is sparse if it
exists at all.
Fair - indicates toxicological data was found but no
aquatic toxicities are listed.
Moderate - indicates toxicological data was found
along with some information on toxicity towards fish.
Good - indicates both toxicological and aquatic toxi-
city data was found.
Limited References - identifies those materials for
which a complete literature survey was not run.

OHM-TADS is also very useful as a means of identifying chemical substances
from their gross propertiessuch as smell and colorand it is used in this
way in connection with emergency response efforts to chemical spills. In the
example below, a chemical leaking from a battery and corroding a zinc floor was
leaving a yellow deposit. This material was tentatively identified from these
three observations as mercuric sulfate, and some of the hazardous properties of
this material were printed out in order to help the spill response team with
their attempts to deal safely with this chemical spill. The information
retrieved permits a rapid and appropriate response to the problem caused by the
spill.

PHS-149
Scope:
The Survey of Compounds Which Have Been Tested for Carcinogenic Activity
(Public Health service Publication 149 (PHS-149)) is a series of eight books
with data extracts from the scientific literature regarding experimental animal
testing of chemical compounds. The animals were treated with various chemicals
and examined for tumors (neoplasms) 30 days or more after initial treatment.
Test protocols and results are given, but no critical evaluation of car-
cinogenicity is provided. The eight volumes cover the literature from the
earliest carcinogenicity testing, pre-1947 to 1973, and the 1978 literature.
They include tests on more than 4,000 compounds.
The books are arranged by generic chemical structural classes. Within
each class, individual entries are arranged by preferred chemical name. Each
entry reports data on the chemical tested, experimental animals, materials,
administration protocol, tumors evidenced, and references to the literature
where the test was reported.
Testing entries are indexed by the author of the article (in most cases
the principal investigator), chemical name, route of administration, site of
administration, animals species, tumor site, and vehicle. Cumulative indexes
for the entire series, included in each edition, provide a cumulative
bibliography, indexes for compound name, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
Registry number, molecular formula, and Wiswesser Line Notation (WIN).
Entries for animal tests in which more than one test compound was admin-
istered appear in the text section for each compound. Data from studies in
which tumors were purposely induced by known carcinogens as baseline data are
not included.
Structure and nomenclature data for substances in PHS-149 are referenced
by and searchable in the Structural and Nomenclature Search System (SANSS) com-
ponent of the EPA/NIH Chemical Information System (CIS).

RTECS
Scope:
The Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS) is a file
containing chemical toxicity data with source document references and citations
to major standards, reviews, and regulations for over 34,000 chemical substances
for which toxicity data or reviews have appeared in the publicly available
literature, irrespective of publication date. For any chemical, only the most
toxic values are retained in this routinely updated computer-produced file. The
generation of the RTECS data file is sponsored by the National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). This data is available as a handbook
and as online databases through the National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the
NIH-EPA Chemical Information System (CIS).
An updated version of RTECS is published annually in paperbound book form
and issued quarterly on a subscription basis in microfiche by the U.S.
Government Printing Office (GPO). The book was formerly published as the Toxic
Substances List (TSL). Volume I contains a unified index of chemical synonyms
and substance prime names, which references the main toxicity data entries in
Volume II. Each record in Volume II contains: chemical identification data,
Wiswesser Line Notations; toxicity data specifying species, route of exposure,
toxic effects and dosage data for toxicity data; citations to major Federal
standards and regulations; major toxicity reviews, such as the International
Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reviews of carcinogenicity, NIOSH Criteria
Documents, and the status of chemicals in the National Cancer Institute's car-
cinogenesis bioassay testing program.
The RTECS/CIS file is the version of the RTECS file implemented online as
part of the NIH-EPA Chemical Information System (CIS), disseminated by
Interactive Sciences Corporation. Specific chemical records may be located
using Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Number, NIOSH Numher, toxicity
data with source document citations, CAS 8th Collective Index nomenclature, and
molecular formula.
Chemical structure and nomenclature information for substances in the
RTECS file are searchable within the Structure and Nomenclature Search System
(SANSS) component of the CIS (see SANSS Descriptive Catalog entry). Search
(statement) results from SANSS may be combined with the search results from
searches of the RTECS file itself. In addition, CAS Registry Numbers or RTECS
accession numbers retrieved from SANSS may be used to retrieve, print, or
display specific RTECS records.
RTECS/NLM is disseminated by the Medlars Management Group, National
Library of Medicine. The Toxicology Information Program, National Library of
Medicine is responsible for implementation, maintenance, and promotion of
RTECS/NLM. This file is essentially the same as RTECS/CIS.
-------

SANSS
Scope:
The Structure and Nomenclature Search System (SANSS) is the heart of the
NIH-EPA Chemical Information System (CIS). SANSS provides an online interac-
tive capability for searching chemical substance databases in order to satisfy
user needs for various structural and nonstructural chemical properties. SANSS
provides structural and nomenclature information for over 110,000 chemical
substances found in any CIS component file. SANSS permits the user to generate,
modify, and/or display two-dimensional chemical structure diagrams of retrieved
compounds. Structures may be used as search criteria to search the SANSS
unified database for compounds having desired structural fragments. Once this
search has been performed, iterative atom-by-atom, bond-by-bond substructure
searches may be executed. Searching may also be performed using terms or
fragments derived from nomenclature and molecular formulas, ring structure data,
CIS fragment codes, number of atoms in a molecule, and molecular weights.
Output may include structural diagrams, Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS)
Registry numbers, chemical nomenclature and synonyms, and a list of CIS files
having information concerning the compound in question.
SANSS has several processing capabilities based on the use of connection
tables to represent chemicals' two-dimensional structural characteristics. A
connection table is a matrix listing of a molecule's nodes (numbered atoms),
atomic symbol for that node, and the numbers of the other nodes to which it is
interconnected. SANSS relies on encoded connection tables as the database upon
which various algorithms are applied to perform structure display and substruc-
ture searching.
Additionally, several search packages are available to the user. These
are not processing capabilities, but must be user selected and are invoked in
SANSS to search the user-specified file in the Unifed DataBase System.
The user may also create and combine a temporary file containing reference
to those substances in the database satisfying some query requirement or a com-
bination of requirements.
Software Packages Available:
Name - Nomenclature Search (NPROBE): Allows for complete or partial
(fragment) name search.
Functional Group - CIDS Key Search (SPROBE): Allows the user to search
CIS UDB for substance containing a particular functional group or struc-
ture feature.
-------
153
Nucleus - Ring Search (NPROBE): Allows for searching for specific rings
or ring systems.
Fragment Search (FPROBE): Allows for searching for atom-centered
fragments.
Substructure Search (SUBSS): Search option which permits atom-by-atom,
bond-by-bond comparison between connection tables in the database and the
connection table corresponding to the query structure.
Complete Structure Search (IDENT): Allows search for a total of full
structure rather than a substructure.
Special Property Retrieval: General designation of miscellaneous types of
characteristic searches. For the most part, these searches permit the
identification of compounds for which certain quantifiable properties,
structural or otherwise, fall within a permissible range. The various
types of searches are:
Molecular Weight: to identify those substances in the database
which have a specified molecular weight, or which fall within a cer-
tain molecular weight range.
Total Atom Count: to identify those substances in the database
having either a specified total atom count, or a total atom count
falling within a specified range.
Ring Count/Population: permits the identification of compounds con-
taining specified combinations of total number of rings of various
sizes present in the compound.
Access:
SANSS is available through the Chemical Information System (CIS). For
information about how to access CIS, consult Appendix A.
Cost:
The cost of using SANSS is $60 per connect hour. In addition to the
search costs, there is an annual $300 subscription fee, which is used to defray
storage costs.

SSIE
The Smithsonian Science Information Exchange (SSIE) database contains sum-
maries of research either in progress or completed in the past two years. The
file consists of Notices of Research Projects (NRPs) that are usually available
for retrieval from SSIE well before progress or final reports appear in the open
literature. The database encompasses all fields of basic and applied research
in the physical, social, engineering, and life sciences. Project summaries are
indexed in depth by professional scientists and engineers using a hierarchical
indexing system developed at SSIE. SSIE registers over 100,000 NRPs each year,
two thirds of which are updates of continuing research and are reindexed as
necessary to reflect shifts in emphasis and scope, thus keeping the file current
with the latest developments, methodologies, and interim findings.
As a research-in-progress database, SSIE offers a unique non-bibliographic
information resource. Some applications include: avoid research duplication,
obtain information to support a proposal, locate sources of support, identify
leads to the literature, stimulate ideas for planning, acquire data for
forecasting, identify gaps in areas of investigation, locate individuals with
expertise, and complement bibliographic data.

STORE!
STORE! is an acronym used to identify the computerized database system
maintained by EPA for the STOrage and RETrieval of data relating to the quality
of the waterways within and contiguous to the United States. Within the STORET
system, some 1,800 unique water quality parameters (a parameter is essentially
the objective of a measurement such as the concentration of a particular
substance in a particular medium) are defined. Approximately 80% of the 40
million individual observations available within the system pertain to approxi-
mately 200 of these parameters which deal with concentrations of conventional
pollutants (BOD, N, P, etc.) and metals in water. A single observation repre-
sents a measurement of a single parameter at a specific location or station at
a specific point in time. These observations are taken from more than 200,000
unique collection points located on essentially all U.S. rivers, lakes, streams,
and other waterways.
The STORET system is fully computerized; it permits users throughout the
country to enter observations into the database as well as to retrieve infor-
mation from the database through remote terminals. A comprehensive range of
retrieval capabilities, both in the statistical analysis of observations, and
the reporting of the results of the analyses, is provided by STORET. Some of
these services are available in an online mode of operation, others in a batch
mode of operation.
STORET can be used for the following purposes:
To detect changes in pollutants that could change ambient
criteria/standards.
To help promote water quality programs by substantiating the effec-
tiveness of other similar programs.
To help justify budget requests for water quality programs.
t To help cut sampling costs by coordinating efforts with other
organizations.
To provide a repository for data collection efforts.
To help identify where monitoring efforts are needed, thereby deter-
mining where funds need to be allocated.
To help design overall programs based upon the successes of others.
To help complete water quality management basin plans.
To help prepare fact sheets required for permit processing.
To detect changes in pollutants that could change existing permits.

SYNORG
Synthetic Organic Chemicals: United States Production and Sales (SYNORG)
is a single volume annual publication of the U.S. International Trade
Commission. It receives data from approximately 800 producers, and reports
domestic commercial production and sales of synthetic organic chemicals and the
raw materials from which they are made. Fifteen sections, organized by chemical
classes, deal with: tar and tar crudes; crude products from petroleum and
natural gas for chemical conversion; cyclic intermediates; dyes; organic
pigments; medicinal chemicals; flavor and perfume materials; plastics and resin
material; rubber-processing chemicals; elastomers; plasticizers; surface-active
agents; pesticides and related products; miscellaneous end-use chemicals and
chemical products; and miscellaneous cyclic and acyclic chemicals.
For each of these groups, three separate tables are provided. The first
of these lists the total production and sales figures for those chemicals for
which there are three or more significant producers. The second table lists the
manufacturers for all chemicals (in terms of a code), and the third table defines
the manufacturers code. The Commission also publishes monthly statistics on
110 of the most significant of these chemicals.
A companion publication entitled "Imports of Benzenoid Chemicals and
Products, 19xx", is also available from the Commission. For this publication,
the imported benzenoids are categorized in seven groups as follows:
intermediates, finished products, dyes and pigments, medicinals and
Pharmaceuticals, flavor and perfume, and all other finished products. Various
tables are provided for various groups showing imported quantities by chemical,
invoice values by country of origin, etc.
Through 1975, data were reported by producers for only those items where
the volume of production exceeded 1,000 pounds or where the value of sales
exceeded $1,000. Beginning in 1976, these limits were raised to 5,000 pounds
and $5,000 for most chemicals and 50,000 pounds and $50,000 for plastics and
resin materials; the 1,000 pounds and $1,000 limits were retained for organic
pigments, medicinal chemicals, flavor and perfume materials, rubber processing
chemicals, and elastomers.

TDB
Scope:
The Toxicology Data Bank (TDB) is an online interactive retrieval system
offered by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) as part of the MEDLARS family
of databases. It provides reviewed information concerning the toxicity
hazards, pharmacology, chemical identification, physical properties, environmen-
tal factors, manufacturing, shipping, usage, and other related information for
chemical substances. Specific data elements include Chemical Abstracts Service
Registry Number, synonyms, molecular formula and weight, human and animal
toxicity, antidote and treatment, etc. Information has been extracted from some
80 reference textbooks, handbooks, monographs, and criteria documents. The data
have been reviewed by a peer review group of scientists, from The National
Institute of Health's Study Section in Toxicology, which is comprised of
pharmacologists, toxicologists, chemists, etc. An output record may contain
data values or detailed textual information.
TDB is searchable primarily using free text terms, prequalifying the
terms with the desired search groupings. Only three fields have been indexed
with Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary. These three fields are human
toxicity excerpts, animal toxicity excerpts, and laboratory methods excerpts.
Access:
TDB is available online through the MEDLARS information retrieval service
from the National Library of Medicine, Bethesda, Maryland. Refer to Appendix A
for MEDLARS access information.
Cost:
TDB searches cost $15 per prime time connect hour and $0.12 per page for
offline prints.

TDMS
Scope:
The Toxicology Data Management Systems (TDMS) will maintain unprocessed
data from toxicological experiments as well as serve as a management and collec-
tion agent for ongoing experiments. TDMS will allow users to:
query the status of ongoing experiments;
examine raw data from experiments;
examine the protocols being used in different experiments; and
determine if a given chemical is being experimented upon.
The information in TDMS is available through formatted reports or through
the use of the query language processor. TDMS is composed of six subsystems,
each of which deals with a different aspect of experimental data or procedure:
1. Compound Management System
2. Protocol Analysis System
3. Experiment Status System
4. Experiment Information System
5. Post Experiment Information System
6. Non-Animal Data System
The Compound Management System (CMS) will serve to collect compound
information during the review process, prior to experimental acceptance.
The Protocol Analysis System (PAS) will allow the principal investigator to
specify and tailor experimental protocol and information gathering regime. The
database will contain the following information:
t compound name and identifiers, manufacturer information, and lot
test analysis;
name, site, and contract number of contractor handling experiment;
materials requirements
feed (manufacturer, supplier, quantities)
animal husbandry (bedding, environment, etc.);
number, sex, species, and strain of animals on experiment;
animal room protocols, including:
feeding schedules
dosing methods and amounts
required data (clinical signs, weight, blood samples etc.)
sacrifice schedules;
-------
169
gross pathology protocols, e.g., what organs to look at and what
abnormal ties to look for; and
microscopic pathology protocols.
The Experiment Status System (ESS) will allow review of the current status
of any or all parts of an experiment, using preformatted reports.
The Experiment Information System (EIS) will handle all animal information
collected while on experiment as defined in the experimental protocol. This
includes:
time series of animal weights;
time series of clinical signs; and
other recurrent measurements, observations, and good laboratory
practice information.
The Post Experiment Information System (PEIS) will handle the information
generated by gross pathological and microscopic pathological examination of the
animals on experiment. The details of the information depend on the protocol,
but some typical information is:
t Gross Pathology
Organ weights
Gross organ observations (size, color, shape, consistency,
etc.)
Good laboratory practices data (balance used, who did
weighing, etc.)
Microscopic Pathology
Information on each organ (normal, missing, present but not
looked at, etc.)
Pathological findings (grading, staging, typing, counting,
tumor sites, etc.)
Slide information
Good laboratory practice (GLP's) information
The Non-Animal Data System (NADS) will collect environmental (chemical and
biological) monitoring information during experiments.

TOXLINE/TOXBACK
TOXLINE (Toxicology Information Online) is a database containing
references to published toxicity studies, effects of environmental chemicals and
pollutants, actions and adverse reactions of drugs, and related analytical
methodology. TOXLINE is available online as part of the National Library of
Medicine's MEDLARS system of databases.
Citations on a given subject may be retrieved from TOXLINE by entering the
desired free text terms as they appear in titles, key words, and abstracts of
articles. Chemical substances can be searched by entering their corresponding
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry Numbers, trade names, or synonyms,
after consulting the CHEMLINE file. There is no controlled vocabulary governing
the inclusion or exclusion of terms in TOXLINE. Terms may be entered singly or
combined by means of the Boolean operators AND, OR and AND NOT. Searches may be
limited to specific years of publication, secondary sources, or authors, since
these are all searchable elements. Citations and abstracts may be printed
online at the user's terminal, or offline and mailed to the user from NLM.
Users may select a print format varying from a brief identification of
author(s), title, and source to a complete listing of the bibliographic record,
including the abstract.
As of May, 1979, the online file contained approximately 580,000 records,
material published in secondary sources from 1974 forward. In TOXLINE are all
of the EMIC and ETIC items, regardless of time coverage. Older information,
approximately 380,000 records, is in TOXBACK (the TOXLINE backfile available
through OFFSEARCH only). The HAYES, HAPAB, and TERA subfiles are only available
in TOXBACK.

tissue wt. as a measure of corneal and conjunctiva! edema and the
estn. of dye diffusion as a measure of vascular leakage in the con-
junctiva and the aq. humor. Thirty-six compds., mainly organic
solvents at least partially miscible with water and intended as
vehicles for pharmacol. investigations were tested. They were
studied in single and repeated topical applications in the eye. The

solvents tested were ranked from low irritants (triacetin) to strong irritants
(tetrahydrofurfuryl ale.) (102-76-1 Triacetin) (97-99-4 Tetrahydrofurfuryl
alcohol). Some ophthalmic vehicles, such as borate buffer, were harmless to the
eye. The method will detect even minor damage and can be used for the quant.

Tween 60, 25% polyethylene glycol 400, 25% ethylene glycol monomethyl ether,
undiluted triacetin and tributyrin had no or only very minor effects on the eye.

TOX-TIPS
Scope:
Toxicology Testing in Progress (TOX-TIPS) is a monthly publication spon-
sored by the Toxicology Information Subcommittee of the Department of Health
and Human Services Committee to Coordinate Toxicology and Related Programs
and is produced under the direction of the Toxicology Information Program at the
National Library of Medicine (NLM).
TOX-TIPS is a product of the combined efforts of industrial, governmental,
and academic organizations reporting on initiation of testing projects and epi-
demiology studies to determine toxicity.
The emphasis of the program is to provide an information exchange mecha-
nism to avoid inadvertent duplication of expensive tests. Publication pre-
ference is given to long-term studies, although other projects are reported.
For this publication, a long-term test is defined as one where the duration of
the study is at least 10% of the animal's life expectancy. Hence, projects
reporting 90-day and longer animal studies are published.
In TOX-TIPS, project descriptions are fully indexed by study parameters.
Indexes by supporting and performing organizations and principal investigations
are also included; all indexes are cumulated quarterly. References to completed
studies, including NTP Bioassay Program reports, are accepted for index entry.
In addition, TOX-TIPS carries selected references to articles from the recent
literature on work related to the reported project. These bibliographic cita-
tions are retrieved from searches, conducted by NLM staff, of the National
Library of Medicine's online databases.
Input to TOX-TIPS is submitted on Smithsonian Science Information Exchange
(SSIE) Notice of Research Project forms included in each TOX-TIPS issue. Prompt
reporting of new projects to the Editor of TOX-TIPS reduces the chances of
duplication as material is usually printed in the first issue scheduled after
its receipt. After the project description and related data are published, the
information is relayed to SSIE for inclusion in that national database of infor-
mation on research-in-progress.

UPGRADE
Scope:
User Prompted Graphic Data Evaluation (UPGRADE) 1s a system for analyzing
data about the environment, natural resources, health effects, etc.
The UPGRADE System makes available to the user different types of data
from many sources. These sources are primarily government agencies with data-
bases or programs supplying data useful to environmental analysis. UPGRADE
provides the means of putting together these various data types to produce
integrated analyses or assessments.
The following databases are available in UPGRADE, including some of the
subsets that have been defined within these databases.
STORET (Water Quality) - 1800 water quality parameters from 200,000
collection points, over 40 million total observations. Most obser-
vations are for the 200 most important water quality parameters.
Major Rivers - general water quality for 12 major rivers.
Municipal Sanitary - dissolved oxygen, stream flow, bacteria,
ammonia, etc. at upstream and downstream locations from 300
major U.S. cities.
Pesticides - USGS measurements of 30 water column and sediment
pesticide parameters.
Phenols - measurements of ambient phenols at 214 stations
around industrial centers of the U.S.
NASQAN (Water Quality) - Data from the National Stream Quality
Accounting Network's 450 monitoring stations in all the major sub-
basins in the U.S.
t INTEGRATED DATA BASE (IDB) - correlates environmental and health
data.
t SAROAD (Air Quality) - daily maximum values of 96 parameters, back
to 1970.
Some of the statistical functions available in UPGRADE include:
stepwise regression,
general linear regression,
time-series analysis,
frequency and cross tabulation tables, and
general correlation matrices.
-------
182
All data in UPGRADE are formatted in one of two ways--time-series or cross-
sectional. Time-series data are site specific and will usually contain several
values (observations) for each parameter at each site. UPGRADE interfaces that
conform to this format are the Water Quality, Air Quality and NASQAN interfaces.
Cross-sectional data are on the level of a geographic or political unit
such as the county. Observations for a parameter are statistically aggregated
over time and sites to yield one data value per parameter per geographic or
political unit. At the present time, cross-sectional data in UPGRADE are
available through the Integrated Database (IDB) at the county and state levels.
Data at the levels of other geographic or political units will be available in
the future.
The UPGRADE components are large collections of data, from which subsets of
data, called datasets, are extracted to meet specific needs or to be used
in specific studies. The UPGRADE User Support Group performs this data sub-
setting procedure for data from the STORET and SAROAD databases. From the
NASQAN and IDB databases, users can construct datasets themselves by means of an
interactive data extraction program which operates in the same manner as
UPGRADE. The extracted datasets contain the data which are accessed and ana-
lyzed by UPGRADE through one of the interfaces. The user, while employing
UPGRADE, does not have the interactive, online access to the master databases.
Access:
UPGRADE is designed to run on an IBM 360/370 computer equipped with TSO.
TSO is IBM's acronym for "Time Sharing Option." It is not really necessary to
understand the operation of TSO on an IBM computer. It is only necessary to
know that UPGRADE operates under TSO. Moreover, other computer manufacturers
have systems which are essentially equivalent to TSO, and UPGRADE can be adapted
to run under these systems. TSO controls the operation of the interactive ter-
minal session, the interaction between the UPGRADE terminal operator and the
UPGRADE computer program and datasets. To use any interactive program, the user
must "Log on" to the TSO system and request TSO to execute the program. When one
asks TSO to execute a program, the TSO system locates the program, loads it in
the memory of the computer, and starts its operation.

Pharmacopeia Conventioh, Inc. This book and the National Formulary are the
official drug and drug regulations compendia of the U.S.
The Pharmacopeia is organized into several sections: Monographs, General,
Reagents, Tables, and an Index:
The Monographs Section, with 1284 monographs, includes drug
substance and dosage forms, pharmaceutic ingredients, chemical
identification, usual adult and pediatric dosage, drug category,
physical description, solubility, packaging, labelling and storage
procedures, and standards for purity and strength, with specified
analytical testing procedures.
The General Section presents methods for various biological,
microbial, chemical, and physical tests and assays for drug ingre-
dients including necessary testing equipment.
The Reagents Section presents information on standards and prepara-
tion of reagents, indicators, and solutions used in drug testing.
Buffer, colorimetric, test, and volumetric solutions are covered, as
are indicator test papers.
The Tables are a series of chemical identification tables and
measurement equivalents arranged alphabetically.
The Index is referenced by drug, substance, and chemical names.
Additionally, each edition of the Pharmacopeia lists significant changes
which have been made since the preceding edition, such as the omission of pre-
viously listed drugs.
The Committee of Revision, composed of volunteer experts from academia,
the drug industry, government, and private medical practice, is responsible for
the complete revision of the Pharmacopeia every five years; regular issuance of
"USP Comment Proof" which reports proposed revisions; and the bimonthly
"Pharmacopeia! Forum" which reports standard developments and official
revisions.
Cumulative annual supplements to the USP are published every January.
Urgent revisions are published as needed asTnterim Revision Announcements."

WDROP
WDROP (Water Distribution Register of Organic Pollutants) is a collection
of data concerning the concentration of organic chemicals found in water and
sediments, along with where, when, and how these chemicals were found. The data
is extracted from all sources available, including the open literature, pro-
ceedings of meetings, internal government reports, and private communications.
The development of this system is supported by the EPA-Athens Laboratory in
Georgia. WDROP is an online interactive database component of the EPA-NIH
Chemical Information System (CIS). It contains information regarding organic
compounds identified in water and sediments. Compound name(s), concentration,
Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) Registry number, molecular weight and formula,
Wiswesser Line Notation, sampling site and data, and reporting laboratory analy-
tical method used are among the items which will be recorded for organic com-
pound testing of polluted and non-polluted water body and sediment samples.
Information will be derived from the open literature, data previously collected
by EPA, other government agencies, individual contributing researchers, and
laboratories, and will be reviewed and validated prior to inclusion in WDROP.
Periodic publication of collected data is planned.
Access;
WDROP is available through the Chemical Information System (CIS). For
information about how to access CIS, consult Appendix A.
Cost:
WDROP searches cost $36 per hour. In addition to search costs, there is
an annual $300 subscription fee, which is used to defray storage costs.
