Ecotoxicology (ECOTOX) Knowledgebase

What is ECOTOX?

The Ecotoxicology (ECOTOX) Knowledgebase is a comprehensive database that provides information on adverse effects of single chemical stressors to ecologically relevant aquatic and terrestrial species. Compiled from over 53,000 references, ECOTOX currently includes over one million test records covering more than 13,000 aquatic and terrestrial species and 12,000 chemicals.

The primary source of ECOTOX data is peer-reviewed literature, with test results identified through comprehensive searches of the open literature. All pertinent information on the species, chemical, test methods, and results presented by the authors are abstracted into the ECOTOX Knowledgebase. ECOTOX includes links to all user support documents, frequently asked questions, and other ecotoxicology tools available on the web. The Knowledgebase is updated quarterly with new data and features.
