Up-REACH!

June 17th, 2008
CAS number

If you regularly search for information about chemicals, then you may want to try my new tool, Up-REACH!  (with apologies for the name..). The tools provides meta-links for 105,000 chemical entries drawn from the EU registration lists (EINECS / ELINCS).

I built Up-REACH to allow rapid access to key chemtox information databases (chemIPplus / PubChem), Phys-Chem (NIST), literature (Hubmed), and EU Classification (ESIS). It’s a good jumping-off point for a chemical hazard assessment, and greatly facilitates read-across assesments.  It has saved me a lot of time and mouse-clicks.

You are very welcome to use it. The main search interface, with a few more options, can be found here.

Where is the Risk Inventory Tool?

I stopped development of the Risk Inventory Tool some time ago. Although the concepts are very relevant to the exposure work required for REACH, there are software providers currently spending time, and our money, to develop REACH-ready implementations.

Good luck to them! :-)
