Launch of 'REDIPED' - A Relational Database of Information on 79 Confirmed or Potential Endocrine Disrupters.
Following its release to Government Departments, it will be available to the general scientific community from the 29th November 2002.
As well as comprehensive data on published biological effects (in vivo and in vitro assays), REDIPED contains information on chemical properties, uses, production volumes, regulatory status and environmental exposure, degradation accumulation and fate.
REDIPED was originally commissioned by the Department for Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). Funds from sales of the CD-ROM will be invested into the development of future versions.
