Databases
The database summarizes the results from aquatic acute toxicity tests
conducted by the USGS CERC located in Columbia, Missouri.
The Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD) is a publicly available
research resource that curates scientific data describing relationships
between chemicals, genes, and human diseases. A primary goal of CTD is
to advance the understanding of the effects of environmental chemicals
on human health.

EPA’s mission is to protect human health and the environment.
EPA’s IRIS Program supports this mission by identifying and
characterizing the health hazards of chemicals found in the environment.
Each IRIS assessment can cover a chemical, a group of related
chemicals, or a complex mixture.
US NIH: Environmental Health & Toxicology - Specialized Information Service Alternatives to Animal Testing
Non-animal Methods for Toxicity Testing
EURL ECVAM is an integral part of the Joint Research Centre (JRC), the
science and knowledge service of the European Commission and is located
at the JRC site in Ispra, Italy.
The Johns Hopkins Center for Alternatives to Animal Testing (CAAT),
founded in 1981, is part of the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg
School of Public Health, with a European branch (CAAT-Europe) located at
the University of Kostanz, Germany. CAAT is promoting humane science by
supporting the creation, development, validation, and use of
alternatives to animals in research, product safety testing, and
education.
