Sources of Information on Health Effects of VOCs

http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/: This National Library of Medicine TOXNET site is a gateway for integrated searches of any or all of the following databases: the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), the EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS), the National Cancer Institute's Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information System (CCRIS), and the EPA's Genetic Toxicology database (GENE-TOX).
http://www.epa.gov/iriswebp/iris/index.html: The U.S. EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) database provides information on health effects that may result from exposure to various substances found in the environment. The information in IRIS is intended for those without extensive training in toxicology, but with some knowledge of health sciences.
http://www.epa.gov/srs/: The U.S. EPA Chemical registry system (CRS) provides information on chemical substances and how they are represented in the EPA. Synonyms, relevant regulations and other sources of information are given.
http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/toxfaq.html: The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's (ATSDR), ToxFAQs database is a series of summaries about hazardous substances. Information for this series is excerpted from the ATSDR Toxicological Profiles and Public Health Statements and is provided in quick and easy to understand guides.
http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/id.htm: This California Air Resources Board's Toxic Air Contaminant (TAC) site provides information on California's TAC identification program. Here you will find an explanation of program, a listing of TACs, summaries of health and exposure information for the substances on the TAC list, and the executive summaries for specific substances.
http://www.arb.ca.gov/toxics/healthval/healthval.htm: This California Air Resources Board site provides access to a quick look-up table of all cancer potency values and noncancer acute and chronic Reference Exposure Levels (RELs) that are available for use in the California AB 2588 Air Toxics "Hot Spots" Program.
http://www.oehha.ca.gov/air/acute_rels/index.html: This California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment document contains reviews of the acute health effects for 51 chemical contaminants and recommends acute Reference Exposure Levels (RELs) for each chemical based on the most appropriate and sensitive adverse health effect.
http://www.oehha.ca.gov/air/chronic_rels/index.html: This California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment document contains reviews of the noncancer chronic health effects for 78 chemical contaminants and recommends chronic Reference Exposure Levels (RELs). A chronic REL is an airborne level that would pose no significant health risk to individuals indefinitely exposed to that level and is based solely on health considerations.
http://www.oehha.ca.gov/air/cancer_guide/hsca2.html: This California Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment document contains cancer unit risk factors for inhalation of chemical substances whose emissions must be quantified under the California "Hot Spots" Program.
