Browse by categories

To traverse the hierarchical trees, simply click on the hyperlink of a major category, and the tree will expand to the next level of hierarchy. You can navigate forward or backward at any time by clicking on the hyperlinks.

Browse alphabetically

You can also browse all the tables by alphabetical listing of the records. Agents records have a special sort order, for example, o-Anisidine appears in "A", not in "O".

Browse agents by adverse effects

You can search for all agents that have one or more potential adverse effects. For example, view all agents that can cause occupational asthma, or view all agents that can cause both asthma and lung cancer. For checkboxes, you may select as many items as you like.

Adverse effects in some categories are displayed in a list of radio buttons. For radio buttons, you may select only one option in each group. For example, in the category Neurotoxin, pick Parkinson syndrome to see all agents with the potential to cause this syndrome.

When checkboxes are used, it means that each agent may have one or more of the listed adverse effects. When radio buttons are used, it means that each agent may have only one of the adverse effects. A neurotoxic agent is designated by the one most prominent effect of five possible options.
