| EPA Launches Children's Environmental Health Database | ||
| Detail: | EPA Launches Children's Environmental Health Database. In early November, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched a searchable database, called TEACH (Toxicity and Exposure Assessment for Children's Health), with over 1,400 references to chemicals that have the potential to affect children's environmental health. The database is designed to improve the information base related to children's environmental health risks by providing a listing and summary of scientific literature applicable to children's health risks due to chemical exposure." TEACH features a list of 16 different chemicals, including arsenic, vinyl chloride, and several pesticides. The database is at http://www.epa.gov/teach/index.html | |
