Health Professional with book

Resources for Toxicological and Health Professionals
  • Toxicological Profile - Succinctly characterize the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for a hazardous substance.
  • Addendum to the Profile - The purpose of Toxicological Profiles Addenda is to provide, to the public and other federal, state, and local agencies a non-peer reviewed supplement of the scientific data that were published in the open peer-reviewed literature since the release of the profile.
  • ToxGuide - Quick reference guide providing information such as chemical and physical properties, sources of exposure, routes of exposure, minimal risk levels, children's health, and health effects for a substance.
  • Substance Priority List - Prioritization of substances based on a combination of their frequency, toxicity, and potential for human exposure at National Priorities List (NPL) sites.
  • Minimal Risk Levels (MRL) - The MRL is an estimate of the daily human exposure to a hazardous substance that is likely to be without appreciable risk of adverse, non-cancer health effects over a specified duration of exposure. The information in this MRL serves as a screening tool to help public health professionals decide where to look more closely to evaluate possible risk of adverse health effects from human exposure.
  • Framework for Assessing Health Impacts of Multiple Chemicals and Other Stressors - Provides guidance for assessment of joint toxicity of environmental chemicals to determine whether exposure to chemical mixtures may impact public health.
  • Interaction Profiles - Succinctly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for mixtures of hazardous substances.
