Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Test Submissions data base (TSCATS) - comprehensive update tape. Data file

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5479641

The Toxic Substances Control Act Test Submissions Data base (TSCATS) was developed to make unpublished test data available to the public. The test data are submitted to the US Environmental Protection Agency by industry under the Toxic Substances Control Act. Test is broadly defined to include case reports, episodic incidents, such as spills, and formal test study presentations. The data base allows searching of test submissions according to specific chemical identity or type of study when used with an appropriate search retrieval software program. Studies are indexed under three broad subject areas: health effects, environmental effects, and environmental fate. Additional controlled vocabulary terms are assigned which describe the experimental protocol and test observations. Records identify reference information needed to locate the source document, as well as the submitting organization and reason for submission of the test data. TSCATS on magnetic is updated quarterly in March, June, September and December each year. Each update is a complete restatement of the entire data base.
