A computer-based data network containing information on potentially toxic chemicals released into the environment is being developed by the Joint Research Centre of the Commission of the European Communities and by research institutions in the member states as part of a program for environmental research. The information requested daily by toxicologists involved in administration, scientific research, and clinical or forensic toxicology covers different fields or disciplines. The data base, which is still in a pilot phase, collects data on environmental chemicals (about 30,000) spread over more than 100 data fields. These include identification; physical and chemical properties; analytical methods; economic data; hazard classifications for transport, handling and storage; waste disposal; environmental dispersion and transformation; toxicology: acute and chronic effects, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, behavioral effects; occupational air standards, first-aid treatments in case of poisoning or environmental disaster. Data stored in the data bank are original literature data which have been evaluated by specialists.
作为一项环境研究计划的一部分，欧洲共同体委员会联合研究中心及各成员国的研究机构正在开发一个基于计算机的数据网络，该网络包含有关释放到环境中的潜在有毒化学物质的信息。参与管理、科研以及临床或法医毒理学的毒理学家每日所需的信息涵盖不同领域或学科。该数据库仍处于试验阶段，收集了分布在100多个数据字段中的约30000种环境化学物质的数据。这些数据包括识别信息；物理和化学性质；分析方法；经济数据；运输、处理和储存的危险分类；废物处理；环境扩散和转化；毒理学：急性和慢性影响、致癌性、致突变性、行为影响；职业空气标准、中毒或环境灾难时的急救处理。数据库中存储的数据是经过专家评估的原始文献数据。
