Abstract: | |
The primary purpose of this database is to make TSCA 8(e) submission information accessible to the general public and organizations whose efforts are associated with protection of health and safety. Under TSCA Section 8(e), manufacturers, importers, and distributors of chemical substances and mixtures are required to inform EPA of studies that reasonably support the conclusion that the chemicals present a "substantial risk of injury" to human health or the environment.
In 1991 OPPT initiated the Compliance Audit Program (CAP) to encourage companies to audit their files for information that was required by 8(e). EPA received about 10,000 submissions under the CAP, in addition to the approximately 400 non-CAP 8(e)s the Agency receives each year. The Triage Chemical Studies Database includes the majority of the CAP and non-CAP submissions received after 1991.
The recent version of the Triage Database, released February 1995, includes an additional 4,000 studies that have recently been reviewed by EPA. The revised version also provides a more user-friendly installation. In addition, Chemical Fact Sheets are incorporated into the Database to provide the user with more information about those chemicals.
