Abstract: | |
The Toxic Substances Control Act Test Submissions (TSCATS) Database was developed to make unpublished test data available to the public. The test data are submitted to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency by industry under the Toxic Substances Control Act. Test data are broadly defined to include case reports, episodic incidents, such as spills, and formal test study presentations. The database allows searching of test submissions according to specific chemical identity or type of study when used with an appropriate search retrieval software program. Studies are indexed under three broad subject areas: health effects, environmental effects and environmental fate. Additional controlled vocabulary terms are assigned which describe the experimental protocol and test observations. Records identify reference information needed to locate the source document, as well as the submitting organization and reason for submission of the test data.
How To Access The Data
