Abstract:

Idaho National Engineering Laboratory's Hazardous Solvent Substitution Program has developed the HSSDS as an unstructured data system which allows scanning of solvent technical product data sheets provided by manufacturers. These are processed by optical character recognition technology, which enables the use of full text retrieval technology. The technology allows the user to query the data system using word and topic searches in conjunction with boolean and context operators. The system also provides a link to vendor-supplied MSDSs for each product. The chemical compound or elements of the product can be compared against the hazardous constituents lists. This capability includes a feature that highlights those products that appear on the lists.

          Toxicity and biodegradability data may be linked to the product or to the compound or to the chemical elements of the product. Performance data, test data, and product use references may also be linked to each product.

          How To Access The Data

          The database can be accessed several different ways:

          1. At the Web site listed above, click on "Search (query) HSSDS". A search box for HSSDS link at the Enviro$en$e Solvent Substitution Data Systems web site will appear. Note: Adobe Acrobat reader is required to view documents in HSSDS.

          2. Modem. Users who are utilizing a modem should set the communications software to emulate a vt-series terminal (e.g., vt100; vt220 is better). To access the system by telephone, dial (800) 330-6712 or (208) 526-0855 and enter hssds for the login and password, and then login as hssds. Press the enter key in response to the password prompt.

          3. Telnet to HSSDS through the Enviro$en$e Solvent Substitution Data Systems web site (listed below). Users who are utilizing telnet should set the communications software to emulate a vt-series terminal (e.g., vt100; vt220 is better). Also, users may telnet directly to wastenot.inel.gov (204.134.132.3) and login as hssds (there is no password; press the enter key in response to the password prompt).
