Abstract

During Phase I of the toxicological interactions project, the researchers developed a database for identifying the health effects of all the chemicals regulated under the Regulation respecting the quality of the work environment that was in effect at that time. This database and the utility that accompanies it have attracted a lot of interest in the scientific community. Its creators are now tackling their updating, mainly by incorporating the recommendations contained in the research report and by adding new substances, made necessary by the implementation of the Regulation respecting occupational health and safety. Furthermore, they will modify the database to allow the text fields to be translated into English. The new tool thus created will increase the visibility of this encyclopedic computerized project by allowing access to a better knowledge of toxicological interactions, particularly since it will appear in three languages, namely French, English and Czech.
