| This is a
key resource for environmental health information, developed by the
Agency For
Toxic Substances And Disease Registry (ATSDR). It provides access to
information
on the release of hazardous substances from Superfund sites or from
emergency
events and on the effects of hazardous substances on the health of human
populations. The information is divided into five categories: site
activity,
site activity map, site contaminants, toxicological profiles and public
health
statements. In addition to HazDat, ATSDR makes available many other
useful
resources for environmental health information such as:
- ToxFAQs, data from their toxicological profiles and public health
statements laid out in a question and answer format
- Minimal risk levels for hazardous substances
- a newsletter called Hazardous Substances & Public
Health
