National body-burden database: Chemicals identified in animals, 1985-1986: Volume 5, Part 1

The database provides a central source of systematically collected and organized body-burden data that facilitates the early identification of actual or potential human exposures to environmental contaminants and the assessment of the significance of such exposure. Data are obtained primarily through routine, manual searches of selected, scientific journals. Information on chemical nomenclature and properties is from online sources and standard handbooks. This publication contains introductory materials, chemical and journal lists, indices and, in tabular form, the records added to the database since the 1984 publication.
