ECOTOX Knowledgebase

ECOTOX is a comprehensive Knowledgebase providing single chemical environmental toxicity data on aquatic and terrestrial species.

The ECOTOXicology Knowledgebase (ECOTOX) is a source for locating single chemical toxicity data for aquatic life, terrestrial plants and wildlife. ECOTOX was created and is maintained by the U.S.EPA's Center for Computational Toxicology and Exposure's (CCTE's) Great Lakes Toxicology Ecology Division (GLTED).

ECOTOX integrates three previously independent databases - AQUIRE, PHYTOTOX, and TERRETOX - into a unique system which includes toxicity data derived predominately from the peer-reviewed literature, for aquatic life, terrestrial plants, and terrestrial wildlife, respectively.

You should review the limitations of ECOTOX data retrieval for an understanding of system and minimum data requirements prior to performing searches on this site.
