Abstract |
The 1973 edition of the Toxic Substances List is the second revision of the list of toxic substances prepared at least annually in accordance with Section 20(a)(6) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, Public Law 91-596. The list includes the original list published in June 1971 and the second edition published in June 1972. The list contains 25,043 entries; approximately 11,000 main entries are accompanied by a description of the substance, information on its toxicity and references to existing USA standards and criteria documents, the remaining 14,000 entries being synonyms and cross references. Specific data is provided on the toxicity of each substance related to: route of administration, animal species involved, type of exposure reported (e.g. lethal), dose which caused toxic response, and body system affected. The bibliographical sources from which the toxicity data were extracted are all listed. Absence of a substance does not imply that it is innocuous. |
