V\ <br /> Appendix 5 - Literature Search <br /> The literature search conducted in the preparation of this report included the following <br /> databases <br /> (1) The ANALYTICAL ABSTRACTS database corresponds to the printed publication <br /> produced by The Royal Society of Chemistry The printed publication dates back to <br /> 1954 and is a comprehensive abstracting service dealing solely with analytical <br /> chemistry. <br /> (2) CHEMICAL SAFETY NEWSBASE (CSNB) is produced by the Royal Society of <br /> Chemistry (RSC) CSNB provides information on the hazardous and possibly <br /> hazardous effects of chemicals and processes encountered by workers in industry <br /> and laboratories. The database also covers microbiological and radiation hazards <br /> encountered in the workplace. <br /> (3) ENVIROLINE provides indexing and abstracting coverage of more than 1,000 <br /> international primary and secondary publications reporting on all aspects of the <br /> environment. These publications highlight such fields as management, technology, <br /> • planning, law, political science, economics, geology, biology, and chemistry as they <br /> relate to environmental issues. Enviroline corresponds to the print Environment <br /> Abstracts <br /> (4) MEDLINE (MEDLARS online), produced by the U S. National Library of Medicine <br /> (NLM1, is a source for biomedical literature materials MEDLINE corresponds to <br /> three pnnted indexes Index Medicus, Index to Dental Literature, and International <br /> Nursing Index Additional materials not published in Index Medreus are included in <br /> the MEDLINE database in the areas of communication disorders, and population and <br /> reproductive biology <br /> f5) POLLUTION ABSTRACTS is a resource for references to environmentally related <br /> technical literature on pollution, its sources, and its control. Produced by <br /> Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, the database corresponds to the printed Pollution <br /> Abstracts. <br /> (6) POLYMER ONLINE, produced by John W„ey & Sons, is an encyclopedic compilation <br /> of polymer science and engineering. The database is the online equivalent to the <br /> print Encyclopedia of Polymer Science and Engineering (EPS&E), a standard <br /> reference work on polymer and plastics technology The theory and practice of <br /> polymer science and engineering, the industrial production and uses of polymeric <br /> materials, consumer uses, and the basic concepts of macromolecular science are <br /> described in the Encyclopedia <br /> i (7) The REGISTRY OF TOXIC EFFECTS OF CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES fRTECSI is a <br /> comprehensive database of basic toxicity information for over 100,000 chemical <br /> substances, including prescription and non-prescription drugs, food additives, <br /> pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, solvents, diluents, chemical wastes, reaction <br /> products of chemical waste, and substances used in both industrial and household <br /> situations Report- -f the toxic effects of each compound are cited In addition to <br /> toxic effects and general toxicology reviews, data on skin and/or eye irritation <br />
