The National Library of Medicine's Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program is the outgrowth of a 1966 document on "Handling of Toxicological Information," prepared by the Presidents Science Advisory Committee (National Library of Medicine, 1995). The Toxicology and Environmental Health Program is responsible for the creation and deployment of both bibliographic and factual files concerned with toxicology, carcinogenesis, developmental and reproductive effects of chemical substances, toxic chemical releases, and the medical and environmental behavior of chemical substances. The two main computer systems that provide bibliographic and factual data banks are Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET) and ELHILL. A number of the files found in the TOXNET system are built and maintained by other federal agencies such as the National Cancer Institute, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.
美国国立医学图书馆的毒理学与环境卫生信息项目源自1966年由总统科学咨询委员会编写的一份关于“毒理学信息处理”的文件（美国国立医学图书馆，1995年）。毒理学与环境卫生项目负责创建和部署与毒理学、致癌作用、化学物质的发育和生殖影响、有毒化学物质排放以及化学物质的医学和环境行为相关的书目档案和事实档案。提供书目和事实数据库的两个主要计算机系统是毒理学数据网络（TOXNET）和ELHILL。TOXNET系统中的许多档案由其他联邦机构建立和维护，如美国国立癌症研究所、美国环境保护局、美国国家职业安全与健康研究所。
