Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS®) provides critical toxicological information with citations on over 150,000 chemical substances from more than 2,500 sources.
These detailed profiles include toxicological data and reviews; international workplace exposure limits; references to US standards and regulations; analytical methods; and exposure and hazard survey data. The data is compiled into substance records for ease-of-use, and updated data is fully integrated. Original coded NIOSH data is replaced by full text descriptions.
The Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS®) database was previously maintained by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and is now licensed through MDL Information Systems, Inc.
The French version of this complete database, RTECS® (français), is available on a separate CD-ROM.
