The
Household Products Database/HPD (http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov)
now links over 5,000 consumer brands to health effects from Material Safety Data
Sheets (MSDS) provided by the manufacturers.
HPD allows scientists and consumers to research products based
on chemical ingredients.
Several
features were added to HPD in June:
*A "Pet Care" category (http://hpd.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/household/prodtree?prodcat=Pet+Care) and additional brands (including hair color products).
*"Product Safety and Recall Lists" (from the FDA and CPSC Web sites). The lists (http://hpd.nlm.nih.gov/recalls.htm) include products that appear in HPD, or products of similar type; they are updated each time the database is updated.
*A "Frequently Asked Questions" (FAQ) page (http://hpd.nlm.nih.gov/faq.htm).
*A
link/search from HPD's "Chemical Information Page" to PubMed to help users find
effects of the chemicals to humans in the published biomedical
literature.
*Ability to search only in a particular product category (http://hpd.nlm.nih.gov/search.htm).
