Description:
In recent years the Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure at the US Environmental Protection Agency has delivered a number of valuable web-based applications which provide access to a myriad of data types for hundreds of thousands of chemicals. The data include property data, in vivo and in vitro hazard data, exposure data, and numerous other data types of interest to the scientific community. To date the preeminent application to date has been the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard (https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard) which presently delivers data for over 1.2 million chemicals. One aspect of delivering highly functional mature production software systems is the development of proof-of-concept applications to garner community interest in novel ways of interrogating and visualizing data. These tools include the Hazard Profile 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. This presentation will provide an overview of publicly available proof-of-concept modules and new tools in development delivering access to chemistry-related data to a variety of stakeholders.
