The CompTox Chemicals Dashboard (available at https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard) is the latest in a suite of dashboards that have been delivered to the community by EPA’s National Center for Computational Toxicology. The dashboard delivers access to data for >875,000 chemicals and includes experimental and predicted physicochemical properties, hazard and exposure data, access to Toxcast/Tox21 bioactivity screening data and provides a link farm to dozens of other online resources. The dashboard delivers access to data with a variety of powerful search capabilities including searching by chemical identifier (e.g. CAS Number or Name), by commercial product type, or by mass or formula. Searches can be performed one chemical at a time or in batches of thousands. Whether you are a chemist, an analytical scientist or a toxicologist the dashboard is of value as it seamlessly integrates data from dozens of databases into a web-based user experience. Other integrated modules include real-time physicochemical and toxicity endpoint prediction and an integrated search to PubMed and almost 30 million publication abstracts. The data and functionality available via the dashboard can be of value in terms of decontamination by providing access to data to assist in detection (specifically via mass spectrometric detection), accessing literature and potential decontamination approaches associated with specific chemicals, and access to toxicity values for chemicals such as Military Exposure Guidelines. This presentation will provide an overview of the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard and how it has developed into an integrated data hub for environmental data.

31. Batch Searching
• Singleton searches are useful but people
generally want data on LOTS of chemicals!
• Typical questions
– What is the list of chemicals for the formula CxHyOz
– What is the list of chemicals for a mass +/- error
– Can I get chemical lists in Excel files? In SDF files?
– Can I include properties in the download file?

33. Conclusion
• An integrated hub for environmental chemistry data to
serve computational toxicology
• Serving multiple use cases and needs – let’s talk!
