TRI Chemical Toxicity Data and Comparative Analysis in Seconds

TRI-CHIP allows easy access to toxicity information from multiple data sources for chemicals in the TRI list. This downloadable Microsoft Access database allows you to customize searches across a single chemical, a set of specific chemicals or a TRI chemical category of interest. Obtain the latest version, TRI-CHIP version 2.08.

With TRI-CHIP you can:

• Search toxicity information from multiple data sources for TRI chemicals
• Use built-in queries to identify chemicals that meet quantitative toxicity criteria, such as lowest observed adverse effect levels (LOAEL) above a specified value
• Identify all TRI chemicals associated with a critical adverse human health effect of interest
• Print customized chemical toxicity profile reports
• Readily move in and out of websites containing additional chemical toxicity information

Health hazard information sources available for query are:

• IRIS - Integrated Risk Information System
• OPP - EPA Office of Pesticide Programs Registration Documents
• ATSDR - Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry
• Cal/EPA - California Environmental Protection Agency
• NTP - National Toxicology Program - 12th Report on Carcinogens
• IARC - International Agency for Research on Cancer
• TRI - Toxics Release Inventory Federal Register Notices
