TOXSERVICES ToxFMD SCREENED CHEMISTRY™ LIBRARY
The ToxFMD Screened Chemistry™ Library is an online subscription-based service that provides individual chemical hazard assessments. The Library grows each month and offers GreenScreen® hazard executive summaries, chemical-specific Benchmark Scores, functional class information, and individual hazard endpoint classifications for almost 1,000 chemicals!
The online Library provides free access to hundreds of Benchmark 1 GreenScreens®. What does this mean? Benchmark 1 (BM-1) chemicals are considered chemicals to avoid because they are chemicals of high concern. The library contains over 200 of these chemicals, and by knowing what they are, you can avoid them in your formulations.
Fifteen GreenScreens® were added to the library in April 2019.
For information regarding the ToxFMD Screened Chemistry™ Library, please contact Dr. Jennifer Tanir at jtanir@toxservices.com.
