Chemical Economics Handbook Reports (http://www.sriconsulting.com/CEH/Public/Reports/)
An index of reports available from the Chemical Economics Handbook arranged alphabetically by chemical name. The title page, abstract and bibliography of each report are available online for free. The abstracts contain useful information about chemical sales and production.

Chemical Industry Institute of Toxicology (CIIT) (http://www.ciit.org/)
The CIIT Centers for Health Research is a private, not-for-profit research organization conducting independent research on the effects of chemicals. The purpose of CIIT is to advance industry and public interest in the acquisition, evaluation and dissemination of information on the potential impact of exposure to chemicals and other substances on human health.

EXTOXNET EXtension TOXicology NETwork (http://ace.orst.edu/info/extoxnet/)
Discussions of toxicological issues of concern (TICs), toxicology newsletters, other resources for toxicology information, toxicology fact sheets, Pesticide Information Profiles (PIPs) and Toxicology Information Briefs (TIBs).

HealthWeb Toxicology (http://healthWeb.org/browse.cfm?subjectid=91)
A descriptive list of toxicology sites related to associations, conferences and events, databases, discussion groups, journals, government resources and news.

Lactmed (http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?LACT)
Lactmed, a recent addition to the Toxnet system, is a peer-reviewed and fully referenced database of drugs to which breastfeeding mothers may be exposed. Among the data included are maternal and infant levels of drugs, possible effects on breastfed infants and on lactation, and alternate drugs to consider.

National Toxicology Program (NTP) (http://ntp.niehs.nih.gov/)
Announcements, fact sheets, resources, publications and events are available from the NTP home page.

TERA, Toxicology Excellence for Risk Assessment (http://www.tera.org/)
Non-profit corporation dedicated to the best use of toxicity data for the development of risk values to protect human health. Includes the International Toxicity Estimates for Risk (ITER) (http://iter.ctcnet.net/publicurl/pub_search_list.cfm) , a database of risk values for chemicals of environmental concern.

Toxicological Profiles (http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxpro2.html)
Access full-text of the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) Toxicology Profiles for hazardous substances. Both final and draft profiles are available.

Toxicology Tutor (http://sis.nlm.nih.gov/Tox/ToxTutor.html)
The National Library of Medicine’s tutorial to toxicology basic principles, toxicokinetics and cellular toxicology.

Toxins and Disease (http://www.protectingourhealth.org/corethemes/links/2004-0203spreadsheet.htm)
This spreadsheet from the Collaborative on Health and the Environment summarizes the links between exposure to chemical contaminants and about 200 human diseases, disorders, or conditions. Classified according to disease, the web site provides strength of evidence (limited/conflicting, good or strong) linking the disease with the toxin(s). The information is based on a review of published scientific research in environmental medicine and toxicology.

TOXMAP (http://toxmap.nlm.nih.gov/toxmap/main/index.jsp)
Toxmap uses interactive mapping software to help users explore the geographic distribution of TRI chemical releases, their amounts, and trends over time. TOXMAP helps users create nationwide or local area maps showing where TRI chemicals are released on-site into the air, water, and ground. Users can search the system by chemical name, chemical name fragment, and/or location (such as city, state, or zip code).
