Initiatives For The Sharing Of Toxicity Data

Much high-quality toxicity information is held within organisations rather than being in the public domain. Organisations would benefit from sharing this data with each other in a reciprocal manner where commercial sensitivity issues allow. Vitic, a structure-searchable toxicity database, has recently been used as the basis for a number of such data sharing initiatives. Consortia include those interested in the sharing of toxicity data on intermediates and impurities.
