EMIC and ETIC

Environmental Mutagen Information Center (EMIC)

EMIC(1991-present) and EMICBACK(1950-1990) are bibliographic databases on chemical, biological and physical agents that have been tested for genotoxic activity. Records are either derived from MEDLINE or created especially for this database. Many records contain abstracts and MeSH terms and all records contain EMIC specialized indexing keywords and the names and CAS Registry Numbers of all chemicals tested. The databases are produced by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and are funded by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences(NIEHS).
