Can anybody give me a sense of how ACGIH can support many of our needs?

RTECS: The Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances is a toxicology database  is compiled, maintained by NIOSH is a great source.The link to the NIOSH site where RTECS is discussed is:

 

https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/rtecs/rtecsaccess.html 

 

If you access RTECS there will be a charge because NIOSH has retailers working with them who actually provide access. If you want RTECS information for a specific compound/element I recommend the "NIOSH Pocket Guide" because there is an entry in the chemical's record containing a direct link to that particular RTECS record for that chemical and it is free when accessed in this manner. The link to the methylene chloride record in the "Pocket Guide" is:

 

https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npg/npgd0414.html  

 

 

There are other sources of values such as the LD50 like HSDB, DART and others available on TOXNET (free).

Does anyone know where to find the studies/source data for LD50 values listed in SDSs?  I'm specifically looking for studies/data on the reproductive/developmental hazards of methylene chloride and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (CAS # 872-50-4).  Is there a database somewhere or does each manufacturer keep its source data in-house?

 

Thanks!
