Toxicology Resources
Summaries about hazardous substances developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's Division of Toxicology. Each fact sheet answers the most frequently asked questions about exposure to hazardous substances found around hazardous waste sites and the effects of exposure on human health.
This Information Analysis Center acquires, analyzes, and disseminates CBD information. This includes chemical and physical properties of CBD materials, chemical identification, decontamination, homeland security, environmental effects, medical effects and treatment, toxicology, warning and identification, nuclear, biological and chemical survivability, etc. *Access to their database is available free to government agencies after registering. *IACs are DoD sponsored but charge for some services.
HSDB focuses on the toxicology of potentially hazardous chemicals. It is enhanced with information on human exposure, industrial hygiene, emergency handling procedures, environmental fate, regulatory requirements, and related areas.
An occupational health database designed for health and safety professionals and for consumers seeking information about the health effects of exposure to chemicals at work. Haz-Map links jobs and hazardous tasks with occupational diseases and their symptoms.
Contains data in support of human health risk assessment. It is compiled by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and contains over 500 chemical records. IRIS data, focuses on hazard identification and dose-response assessment, and includes key data on EPA carcinogen classifications, unit risks, slope factors, oral reference doses, and inhalation reference concentrations.

Some JANNAF Interagency Propulsion Committee reports are available from DTIC. Our library and Reports Vault owns some reports, and many are available from DTIC. *IACs are DoD sponsored but charge for some services.
Over 5,100 public domain technical papers presented at Joint Army-Navy-NASA-Air Force conferences since 1974. These public papers cover combustion science, propulsion system safety and hazards, environmental protection, toxicology, materials technology, nondestructive evaluation, and energetic materials research. (Note: Requires registering and PDFs cost $24.00 each.) Also see Chemical Propulsion Information Agency (CPIA), and TEMS. To have our library order these please

Sponsored by the Department of Energy, Office of Environmental Management, this site has serveral tools and databases such as: Preliminary Remediation Goals; Established Regulatory Limits for Surface Water and Groundwater; Toxicity Values; Human Health Risk Exposure Modeling; and a Risk Assessment Glossary.
Knovel interactive Reference books including: Dictionary of Substances and Their Effects (7 volumes), Electrostatic Hazards, Environmental and Health & Safety Management, Guidelines for Preventing Human Error in Process Safety, Handbook of Emergency Response to Toxic Chemical Releases, Handbook of Hazardous Chemical Properties, International Resources Guide to Hazardous Chemicals, *Patty's Toxicology, *Sax's Dangerous Properties of Industrial Materials, and Understanding Atmospheric Dispersion of Accidental Releases.
Science Citation Index Expanded (part of the "Web of Science"). Provides access to current and retrospective cited references from the world's leading science and technical journals. AFRL coverage 1990 to present. Prepaid version available on AFIT computers in library - 1988 to present.
It is one of "the world's largest collection of science, technology and medicine full text and bibliographic information," and the library connects you to millions of scholarly articles available from 1995+. Includes all journals published by Elsevier, Academic Press, Pergamon, North-Holland and others.
We have access to most of the journals published by the American Institute of Physics; American Physical Society; Acoustical Society of America; American Society of Mechanical Engineers; American Vacuum Society; International Centre for Diffraction Data; Laser Institute of America; and MAIK (the Russian Academy of Sciences). Many older issues are in the Library.
Searches across 167 million science-specific Web pages including full-text journal sources like: BioMed Central, MEDLINE, Science Direct (Elsevier, Academic Press, etc.), Scitation (AIP, APS, ASME, SPIE, etc.), and the Society for Industrial & Applied Mathematics, as well as NASA reports, and various e-print and patent databases. Connects to millions of full-text subscription and free files.
ATSDR ToxFAQs is a series of summaries about hazardous substances developed by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's Division of Toxicology. Each fact sheet answers the most frequently asked questions about exposure to hazardous substances found around hazardous waste sites and the effects of exposure on human health.
ToxFile
Librarians access (only) via Dialog - $$
Covers the toxicological, pharmacological, biochemical, and physiological effects of drugs and other chemicals: adverse drug reactions, chemically induced diseases, carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, teratogenesis, environmental pollution, waste disposal, radiation, and food contamination. (A required "Animal Protocol" research file.)
Also SEE ToxLine and ToxNet (Free).
A bibliographic database covering toxicology. Covers the biochemical, pharmacological, physiological, and toxicological effects of drugs and other chemicals. It contains more than 3 million citations and includes CAS Registry Numbers.
TOXMAP show where hazardous chemicals are released on-site into the air, water, and ground; identifies releasing facilities; shows chemical release trends; and provides information/links from these resources. Covers the United States and via maps allows users to visually explore data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s
Toxics Release Inventory.
A cluster of databases covering toxicology, hazardous chemicals, environmental health and related areas. Several are detailed elsewhere on this page. This link allows you to search across all the NLM toxicological databases, including the Hazardous Substances Data Bank, Integrated Risk Information System, and ToxLine.
