Abstract |
The computer tape contains the Inventory Synonym Name File and the Inventory Preferred Name File of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Toxic Substance Inventory. These files reflect the 60,719 substances on the non-confidential Inventory file as of June 28, 1991. The EPA 'N' flag, which indicates a polymeric substance containing no free-radical initiator in its Inventory name, but is considered to cover the designated polymer made with any free-radical initiator regardless of the amount used, appears on these tapes for the appropriate polymers that were included in the 1990 Supplement. The tapes do not include this flag for polymers that were listed in the 1985 Edition. A review of the statistics for the amounts of CBI and non-CBI records on the source file and the file that produced these tapes, as well as the types of data elements selected, confirms that no TSCA CBI data are on the tapes. |
