Abstract |
DATALOG is a bibliographic pointer file of environmental fate data and each record contains a chemical CAS registry number (9 bytes), one of 18 data types (9 bytes), and a reference number (6 bytes) to the full citation in the XREF file. The data types identify physical properties, degradation and transport studies, and food, occupational and ambient monitoring data. The file should be used with CASLST (in order to link the chemical name and formula) and XREF (in order to link the full reference citation). A list of possible data types and their abbreviations are: Adsorption (ADSORP), Bioconcentration (BIOCON), Biodegradation (BIODEG), Dissociation constant (DISS CON), Ecosystem (ECOS), Effluent concentrations (EFFL), Evaporation from water (EVAP), Food and crop concentrations (FOOD), Field studies (FIELD), Henry's Law constant (HENRY CON), Hydrolysis (HYDROL), Monitoring (MONIT), Occupational concentrations (OCCUP), Octanol/water partition coefficient (O/W PART), Photoxidation (PHOTOOXID), UV Spectra (UV), Vapor pressure (UP) and Water solubility (WATER SOL). |
