Alphabetical List of OPPT Databases and Software
On this page
Databases
Information about the ADL Migration Exposure Model (AMEM) -- Developed to estimate the migration of chemicals from polymeric materials used in home environments where these chemicals could become sources of indoor air pollution or potable water contamination. An exposure assessment model can then be used to estimate exposure.
Chemical Registry System (CRS) -- see Substance Registry System (SRS)
Chemicals on Reporting Rules (CORR) -- Consists of two dBASE (.DBF) files which can be linked together to provide Federal Register information about regulated chemicals under certain sections of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA).
Environmental Accounting Case Studies -- The Environmental Accounting Project has developed this database as a collection of various environmental accounting case studies. The intent is to demonstrate how the application of environmental accounting principles can have a direct, positive, bottom-line effect on business operations.
Green Chemistry Literature Database -- An ongoing project to compile and organize journal articles into specific sub-topics for a literature database on the subject. Topic areas include alternative synthesis methods, catalysis, reaction conditions, and alternative solvents.
High Production Volume Information System (HPVIS) -- This database provides access to select health and environmental effect information on chemicals that are manufactured in exceptionally large amounts. Information in this database are submitted through EPA's High Production Volume (HPV) Challenge Program. HPVIS allows users to search for summary information, test plans, and new data on high production volume chemicals as they are developed. Read basic information about high production volume chemicals.
Information about IGEMS -- The new IGEMS is a modernization of OPPT's older Graphical Exposure Modeling System and PCGEMS tools. IGEMS brings together in one system several EPA environmental fate and transport models and some of the environmental data needed to run them. IGEMS includes models and data for ambient air, surface water, soil, and ground water, and makes the models much easier to use than their stand-alone counterparts. IGEMS will have graphics and Geographical Information System (GIS) capabilities for displaying environmental modeling results.
Information about Inventory Update Rule Reporting Options -- Page that provides submitters with information on how to complete their reporting requirements electronically.
Information about Metabolic Engineering Project Inventory -- This database is intended to capture, store and sort documents relating to Metabolic Engineering projects being sponsored by federal agencies.
Probabilistic Dilution Model (PDM). -- Originally developed by the Office of Water, PDM estimates how often a given concentration of concern may be exceeded in receiving streams. See the entry for Reach Scan.
Information about ReachScan with Probabalistic Dilution Model and Endangered Species Database Link -- ReachScan, the Probabalistic Dilution Model (PDM), and the Endangered Species Database (ESDB) have been integrated into one package for distribution. ReachScan is an integrated Surface water modeling and database system to estimate surface water concentrations, and determine the presence of endangered Species or critical habitats in the county of a releasing facility.
Register of Lists (RoL) -- see Substance Registry System (SRS)
Screening Information System/LAN (SIS/L) - See Substance Registry System (SRS)
Substance Registry System -- The successor of the Chemical Registry System, Screening Information System/LAN, and the Register of Lists (among others), the Substance Registry System (SRS) provides information on substances and how they are represented in the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations and information systems.
Using the search boxes, you can query for substances by common identifiers, names, or alternate identifiers. Additional search capabilities are available on the Search page.
Information about the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) -- A publicly-available database containinginformation on chemical emissions from almost 23,000 facilities in theUnited States.
- Online access to the TRI database is available through EPA's Envirofacts Data Warehouse, theNational Library of Medicine's TOXNET system, and theThe Right-to-Know Network (RTK-NET)
Web site. - Information about ordering TRI data on CD-ROM
- TRI data by state can be downloaded from http://www.epa.gov/triexplorer/chemical.htm
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Interagency Testing Committee (ITC)
- This site provides public access to the TSCA ITC's tracking system, including the ITC Priority Testing List, Tracking Database, and Supporting Documentation and Dossiers.Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Inventory.
A searchable CD-Rom version of the TSCA Inventory, including SARA Title III data, is available through NTIS, and by calling NTIS at (703)487-4650 or 1-800-553-NTIS. An extract of the TSCA Inventory is also available from the Cornell University web site.Toxic Substances Control Act Test Submissions (TSCATS).
An index to unpublished, nonconfidential studies submitted by U.S. industries to EPA under TSCA. Click to go to theTSCATS DatabaseSearch Formor the RTK-NET Help file .
Software
Automated TRI Reporting Software (ATRS), 2000 -- ATRS, formerly AFR, is the electronic version of the form that submitters use each year to report toxic chemicals released into the land, water, or air under EPCRA.
Information about Aquatox -- A computer program to perform ecological risk assessment modelling, developed to project the combined environmental fate and effects of pollutants in aquatic ecosystems.
Information about Ecological Structure Activity Relationships (ECOSAR) -- A personal computer program used to estimate the acute and chronic toxicity of chemicals used in industry and discharged into water. Predicts chemicals' effects on aquatic organisms.
Green Chemistry Expert System -- A tool currently under development by the U.S. EPA, which will allow users to build a green chemical process, design a green chemical, or survey the field of green chemistry.
Information about Multi-Chamber Concentration and Exposure Model (MCCEM) -- A user friendly computer model that estimates indoor concentrations for, and individual exposures to, chemicals released from products in residences.
PCB Waste Handlers Who Have Obtained an EPA ID Number (ZIP File) -- This is a self extracting file; copy to your computer and open the file. The information is in a Windows-based Access format and should be easily viewed in most database applications.
Please consult the PCB Databases and Forms web page for more information and the latest updates.OncoLogic™ -- A desktop computer program that evaluates the likelihood that a chemical may cause cancer. OncoLogic™ has been peer reviewed, runs on a Windows® PC, and is being released by EPA at no cost, to make it available to any researcher or organization wishing to evaluate cancer potential of chemicals. The OncoLogic installer is posted at the bottom of this page.
Information about the Use Cluster Scoring System A computer-based, risk-screening system withinformation about nearly 3,200 chemicals and the 380 clusters -- or families-- into which these chemicals are grouped.
Additional Web Resources
Current TRI Reporting Forms & Instructions -- The electronic version of the form that companies complete each year to report toxic chemicals released into the land, water, or air. The EPA gathers and publishes this information annually as mandated by legislation Congress passed in 1986 called the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act (EPCRA).
Information about Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers -- International
-- The international equivalent to the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI). PRTRs are data banks of recorded information of the releases and transfers of toxic chemicals from industries, such as manufacturers, mining facilities, processors, or government-owned and operated facilities.Information about Pollutant Release and Transfer Registers-- North America
-- In North America, it soon will be possible to obtain PRTR data across the North American continent. Besides the United States, both Canada and Mexico have operational PRTR systems.
