experts for each of the test systems under evaluation; the results are represented in GENE-TOX.
- Haz-Map - An occupational toxicology database designed primarily for health and safety professionals, but also
for consumers seeking information about the health effects of exposure to chemicals at work. It links jobs and hazardous tasks with occupational
diseases and their symptoms. The approximately 1,000 chemicals and biological agents in the database are related to industrial processes and other
activities such as hobbies. The linkage indicates the potential for exposure to the agents. The 180 occupational diseases and their symptoms are
associated with hazardous job tasks. This association indicates an increased risk for significant exposure and subsequent disease.

provide facts on toxic chemicals found in everyday locations, information about how the environment can impact human health, non-technical descriptions of
chemicals, links to authoritative chemical information on the Internet, and Internet resources on environmental health topics. Tox Town's target audience is
students above elementary-school level, educators, and the general public. It is a companion to the extensive information in the TOXNET collection of
databases that are typically used by toxicologists and health professionals. ( Spanish )
