| National Pesticide Information Retrieval System (NPIRS) |
Database developed by Perdue University and USDA to allow quick retrieval of current information on registered pesticides. |
| PubMed | Provides access to over 11 million citations from MEDLINE and additional life science journals and includes links to many sites providing full text articles and other related resources. |
| Science Direct |
Access to scientific journals. Click on "browse A to Z journals" to see a complete list. |
| US EPA Distributed Structure-Searchable Toxicity (DSSTox) Database Network | A project of EPA's Computational Toxicology Program, helping to build a public data foundation for improved structure-activity and predictive toxicology capabilities. The DSSTox website provides a public forum for publishing downloadable, standardized chemical structure files associated with toxicity data. |
| US EPA EMCI Chemical Reference Index | Listing of chemicals monitored by EPA's major program systems: Air (AFS), Water (PCS), Hazardous Waste (RCRIS), Superfund (CERCLIS), and Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), including a complete listing of all chemical references. |
| US EPA ENVIROFACTS Master Chemical Integrator (EMCI) | EMCI allows you to obtain the acronyms, chemical identification numbers, and chemical names reported by the Envirofacts databases (AFS, PCS, RCRAInfo, and TRI). |
| US EPA OPPTS Resources and Databases | Links to a compilation of Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substance's pesticide databases and resources. |
| US EPA Science Inventory | Listing of all EPA's Science and Research including project descriptions and a list of completed products. Powered by the Environmental Information Management System (EIMS). |
| US EPA Substance Registry System (SRS) | EPA's central system for information about regulated and monitored substances; provides a common basis for identification of chemicals and biological organisms listed in EPA regulations and data systems, as well as substances of interest from other sources. |
| US EPA TOXNET | (TOXicology Data NETwork) contains a number of searchable Toxicology databases including the Hazardous Substance Databank (HSDB), Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), Chemical Carcinogen Research Information System (CCRIS), Toxicology Literature search (TOXLINE), data on mutagenicity studies (GENE-TOX) Developmental and Reproductive Toxicity/Environmental Teratology Information Center (DART/ETIC), Toxics Release Inventory (TRI), and ChemIDPlus. |
| Web of Science |
