Aquatic and in vitro exposure toxicity data is now available in RTECS (Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances) database. The new toxicity data is searchable in the Basic Index. It is also possible to search more specifically by Effect (EFF), Route (RTE), Organism (ORGN) and Duration (DUR).

The new data displays in the Toxicity data table as part of the TOX and TOXFULL formats, as well as in the ALL and certain other predefined display formats.

RTECS is a factual database that contains toxicity data and references for commercially important substances, including drugs and agrochemicals. The substance information and toxicology results are collected by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
