An official website of the United States government.

Due to a lapse in appropriations, EPA websites will not be regularly updated. In the event of an environmental emergency imminently threatening the safety of human life or where necessary to protect certain property, the EPA website will be updated with appropriate information. Please note that all information on the EPA website may not be up to date, and transactions and inquiries submitted to the EPA website may not be processed or responded to until appropriations are enacted.

We've made some changes to EPA.gov. If the information you are looking for is not here, you may be able to find it on the EPA Web Archive or the January 19, 2017 Web Snapshot.

Chemical and Products Database (CPDat)

What is CPDat? 

CPDat (Chemical and Products Database) is a database containing information mapping more than 49,000 chemicals to a set of terms categorizing their usage or function in 16,000 consumer products (e.g. shampoo, soap) types based on what chemicals they contain. The database is a part of EPA's Computational Toxicology (CompTox) Dashboard and contains data from other EPA databases including CPCat, CPCPdb and FUse. CPDat also contains data from non-targeted analysis of chemicals performed on different consumer products and from new product composition data that is publicly available.

For chemicals without a weight fraction in a given product, EPA scientists developed a model that generates a predicted weight based on its placement in the ingredients list. 

Users can search the CompTox Dashboard for chemicals by chemical name, Chemical Abstracts Registry Number (CASRN), or by a product type (e.g. "shampoo").
