Description and Table of Contents
Description
This Compendium provides a vast amount of information about potentially toxic chemicals to regulatory and research agencies, consultants, academics, and libraries.
The National Toxicology Program's Chemical Data Compendium consists of eight volumes containing 50 fields that present detailed information on 2,270 different chemicals. The data is obtained from the literature or experimentally determined. Each compound is listed in every volume even when there is no information available for it in some volumes. Information in the NTP Compendium was gathered and updated as compounds were used throughout a 12 year period from 1979 to 1991. Throughout the eight volumes, the primary chemical name and the Chemical Abstracts Service Registry Number (CAS No.) remain constant and all 2,270 chemicals are listed alphabetically in each volume.
Use the eight volumes together to get the full benefit of the NTP Chemical Data Compendium, or select only those volumes that contain the information you need and use them as stand-alone references.
Table of Contents
VOLUME 1: CHEMICAL NAMES and SYNONYMS
This volume consists of data entries from three fields: the Primary Name, CAS Number, and Synonyms. It conveniently lists the primary identifiers used with all 2,270 chemicals.
Catalog no. L715
VOLUME 2: CHEMICAL and PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
This volume consists of entries from 11 fields. It provides related chemical and physical data commonly used to support a wide variety of needs ranging from chemical research to regulatory activities involving Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) preparation and shipping. The data fields include the following:
Chemical formula
Molecular weight
Wiswesser Line Notations (WLN)
Physical description
Specific gravity
Density
Melting point
Boiling point
Solubility
Other solvents
Other physical data
Catalog no. L716
VOLUME 3: STANDARDS and REGULATIONS
Data entries from seven fields are featured in this volume. This data provides worker exposure hazard ratings and safety standards, regulations, and recommendations used to support safe handling of chemicals. Important sources of this information include the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) Threshold Limit Values for Chemical Substances and Physical Agents, the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) Fire Protection Guide on Hazardous Materials, the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS), the Suspect Chemicals Sourcebook, and published OSHA standards.
Catalog no. L717
VOLUME 4: MEDICAL HAZARDS and SYMPTOMS of EXPOSURE
This volume consists of entries from two related medical data fields: Acute/Chronic Hazards and Symptoms. Information provided under Acute/Chronic Hazards is designed to alert users about the type of hazards specific chemicals cause. This volume also contains a glossary that translates specialized medical terms into "layman's language" (e.g., edema of the liver means swelling or enlargement of the liver).
Catalog no. L718
VOLUME 5: MEDICAL FIRST AID
Information from five fields of emergency response first aid information generated from an expert system named First Response fills this volume. The expert system was developed at Radian Corporation and refined over a period of seven years by a team of occupational physicians, industrial hygienists, safety professionals, toxicologists, and chemists. It takes into account chemical, physical, and toxicological properties of compounds and recommends emergency first aid for four potential routes of exposure: skin contact, inhalation, eye contact, and ingestion.
Catalog no. L719
VOLUME 6: PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
This volume consists of information from three data fields: Minimum Protective Clothing, Recommended Glove Materials, and Recommended Respirators. Information from these fields is drawn from early (pre-1985) generic polymer recommendations, the GlovES+ expert system, and the First Response expert system.
Catalog no. L720
VOLUME 7: HAZARDOUS PROPERTIES and USES
Volume 7 consists of entries from eight related fields, including Fire Hazard, Lower Explosive Limits (LEL) and Upper Explosive Limits (UEL), Reactivity, Stability, and Uses and Comments.
Catalog no. L721
VOLUME 8: SHIPPING CLASSIFICATIONS and REGULATIONS
This volume contains entries from 11 related data fields, including Proper IATA Shipping Name, UN Identification Number, Hazard Class, Subsidiary Risk, Packing Group, Labels Required, Special Provisions, Maximum Quantity Permitted on Passenger or Cargo Airplanes, and Packing Instruction Codes required for Passenger or Cargo Aircraft.
Catalog no. L722
