Previously available only as hard copy, ATSDR's Toxicological Profiles on CD-ROM consists of 110 final ATSDR toxicological profiles, which are extensively peer-reviewed, covering the toxicological effects of hazardous substances, chemicals, and compounds. It contains more than 20,000 pages worth of comprehensive, up-to-date, easy-to-use data on mitigation of health effects, data gaps, and all available health data. The CD-ROM volume is fully indexed and can be searched easily and across profiles.
ATSDR's Toxicological Profiles on CD-ROM is the most complete database of toxicological and epidemiological information and is the only one organized by route of exposure-inhalation, oral, and dermal. Each profile includes an examination, summary, and interpretation of available toxicological and epidemiological data evaluations on the hazardous substance, including environmental fate; a determination of the levels of significant human exposure for the substance and the associated acute, intermediate, and chronic health effects; and, where appropriate, an identification of toxicological testing needed to identify the types or levels of exposure that may present significant risk of adverse health effects in humans.
