ITER is a free Internet database of human health
risk values and cancer classifications for over 600 chemicals of environmental
concern from multiple organizations worldwide.
ITER is the only database that
presents risk data in a tabular format for easy comparison, along with a
synopsis explaining differences in data and a link to each organization for more
information.
ITER is currently available at its "Original ITER"
location (http://iter.ctcnet.net/publicurl/pub_search_list.cfm)
and is now also available as part of the TOXNET compilation of databases (http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov).
The two locations contain the same information, however, the TOXNET
display allows for additional search functions (click here to
read a recently published manuscript describing how to use ITER
on TOXNET). Edits to ITER are still made to
the "Original ITER"
location, which is uploaded to the TOXNET version of ITER
on a weekly basis.
We recently launched a new database that is a
companion to ITER called the Risk
Information Exchange (RiskIE). Explore RiskIE at
http://www.allianceforrisk.org/RiskIE.htm.
RiskIE is a database of
notifications about a variety of human health risk assessment projects that are
underway or recently completed. Projects listed on RiskIE are both
chemical-specific and nonchemical-specific, and range from many types of risk
value development to risk methods document development. RiskIE currently
tracks over 5500 in progress or recently completed risk assessment
projects conducted by 27 different organizations representing 13 different
countries.
