This article presents toxicological information resources in Sweden available to the public on the Internet. The main focus is on websites of organizations and universities with toxicological information in English. For example, the National Chemicals Inspectorate (KemI) has several databases with information on chemical substances on their website as well as regulatory information about chemicals. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has a database containing environmental information and on the website of the National Institute of Working Life a database on occupational health is available. An important part of toxicological research is carried out at the Institute of Environmental Medicine at the Karolinska Institute. Several universities and colleges are responsible for research, education and training in toxicology and ecotoxicology.
