Abstract
In response to the need for finding chemical information we have set up a system to identify and access appropriate data‐sources. This Information System for Environmental Chemicals consists of the following meta‐databanks: DAMA: Databank of Manual Sources DADB: Databank of Databases DACD: Databank of CD‐ROMs Data‐fileds of the Databank of Databases (DADB) will be explained in detail. Online databases of 12 international hosts including two Russian hosts and CD‐ROMs (offline databases) are evaluated and compared according to some chemical‐relevant parameters like identification, production and use, detection in the environment, physical‐chemical properties, environmental transport and fate, ecotoxicity, mammalian toxicity and genotoxicity.
