A search in the database  STAT!Ref now also gives you results from TOXNET databases and four Centers for Disease Control resources; CDC Pink Book, CDC Yellow Book, The Community Guide, and Morbidity Mortality Weekly. TOXNET, short for TOXicology Data NETwork, consists of many databases concerning toxicology, hazardous chemicals, environmental health and related areas. It is managed by the Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP) in the Division of Specialized Information Services (SIS) of the National Library of Medicine (NLM).  To learn more about TOXNET, check out the fact sheet from the U.S. National Library of Medicine. STAT!Ref cross-searches the following TOXNET databases:

*Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)     *Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS)     *International Toxicity Estimates for Risk (ITER)     *Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information System (CCRIS)     *Genetic Toxicology (GENE-TOX)     *Tox Town®     *Drugs and Lactation ( LacMed)     *Carcingenic Potency Database (CPDB)     *Comparative Toxicogenomics Database (CTD)

To access these resources, merely perform a search in STAT!Ref from the library databases as you normally would and look for the Additional Resources column on the left.
