YourArt.com >> Encyclopedia >> RTECS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03) RTECS, also known as Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances, is a database of toxicity information compiled from the open scientific literature that is available for charge. RTECS was an activity mandated by the US Congress, established by Section 20(a)(6) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (PL 91-596). In December 2001 RTECS was transferred from NIOSH to the private company Elsevier MDL and is now only accessible for charge on an annual subscription base. www.yourart.com /research/encyclopedia.cgi?subject=/RTECS   (220 words)

Appendix A-How the Survey Was Conducted The universe for the RTECS is comprised of all housing units occupied as the primary residence in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. In the 1991 RTECS, the MPG data were estimated using EPA laboratory test results of MPG (See Appendix B, "Estimation Methodologies," for a complete discussion of the consumption and expenditure estimation procedures used in the 1994 RTECS.) To assign a test MPG to a particular vehicle, the specific characteristics of the vehicle were required. The 1994 RTECS also provided a unique opportunity to assess the reliability of the respondents' answers by comparing their responses to the RTECS vehicle characteristic questions with an independent source of data containing the vehicle characteristics for the same vehicles, that is, the VIN. www.eia.doe.gov /emeu/rtecs/appenda.html   (4549 words)

Guide Index   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03) RTECS consists of tabulations of the lowest dose reported to have caused the listed toxic effect in the designated species by the designated route of administration. The RTECS compound descriptor codes do not represent an evaluation of the toxicity of a substance, nor are the codes all-inclusive with respect to use (that is, there may be some substances in the RTECS file that should be, but are not, coded as belonging to certain application classes). The RTECS descriptor codes fall into two categories: (1) those based on the types of toxicity data found in the substance data records and (2) those based on related information found in the references from which the data were extracted. www.ovid.com /site/products/fieldguide/CHEMBANK/rtex.htm   (14997 words)

CCOHS: RTECS® FAQs Generally RTECS® includes drugs, food additives, preservatives, ores, pesticides, dyes, detergents, lubricants, soaps, plastics, extracts from plant and animal sources, plants and animals which are toxic by contact or consumption, and industrial intermediates and waste products from production processes. RTECS® contains toxicity and regulatory information on over 150,000 chemicals, while HSDB has a wider range of subject coverage (over 100 fields) such as medical surveillance, first aid, emergency response, safety measures, health hazards, etc. for 4,500 chemicals. RTECS® is a better choice if you need toxicity information on a very large number of chemicals, but HSDB is better if you need safety and other related details. www.ccohs.ca /products/faqs/rtecs.html   (295 words)

eSchool News online - Congress kills RTECs, but expands tech research The measure eliminates through consolidation both the $10 million RTEC program and the Eisenhower Math and Science Consortia, adding their functions to the Regional Education Laboratories and the Comprehensive Regional Assistance Centers programs. To ensure a smooth transition, the RTECs would be funded through 2004 under the new law. Knowing that the RTECs likely would be eliminated, groups such as NEKIA, CoSN, and ISTE lobbied hard to make sure surviving programs—like the Regional Education Labs and the Comprehensive Centers—would provide technology assistance to states and school districts. www.eschoolnews.com /news/showStory.cfm?ArticleID=4022   (907 words)
