Abstract
The usefulness of factual health and safety databanks is discussed in this paper. Four databanks have been selected for this study: HSDB (Ha zardous Substances Data Bank), ECDIN (Environmental Chemicals Data Inf ormation Network), RTECS (Registry of the Toxic Effects of Chemical Su bstances) and CCRIS (Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information). Th e quality of the information available in the databanks considered was examined for five different chemical compounds and the completeness o f the information available was carried out by an analysis of carcinog enic and mutagenic data.
