Impact/Purpose:
This packages documents the technical review of the ChemExpo Knowledgebase, a new ORD application for providing chemicals use and consumer product chemical data to the public.
Description:
ChemExpo is an interactive web application for exploring chemical data, curated from public documents, relevant to exposure assessment. ChemExpo currently surfaces data collected by EPA about how chemicals are used in commerce and how they occur in consumer and industrial products; these data are collectively known as the Chemicals and Products Database (CPDat). ChemExpo provides tools for exploring and downloading these data, which include consumer product composition, chemical functional use, and general chemical use information. The ChemExpo team actively works to curate these data to specific consumer and occupational product categories, to chemical functional uses, and to substance identifiers (DTXSIDs) used by EPA and the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard.
