Williams, A. Tech Café demonstration: internet tools for sourcing chemistry related. DECON, Charleston, SC, December 05 - 07, 2023.
Impact/Purpose:
N/A
Description:
This tech café demonstration will provide an overview of the many online tools available from the US-EPA’s Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure which can provide access to rich data streams for over 1.2 million chemical substances. These data include property, hazard and safety data which can be searched based on CAS numbers, millions of chemical identifiers or, when appropriate, by chemical structures. Applications which will be demonstrated include the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard), publicly available proof-of-concept cheminformatics modules (https://www.epa.gov/chemical-research/cheminformatics), and new tools in development. This includes hazard and safety profile modules which integrate publicly available data streams into a web-based interface delivering information regarding nine categories of GHS data (the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals), details regarding measures of accidental release (including cleanup and disposal), and firefighting measures.
