Using information from scientific sources and regulatory agencies,
Scorecard provides
listings of the chemicals that can cause cancer, harm the immune
system, contribute to birth defects, or lead to any of nine other
types of health impacts. Chemicals whose health hazards are widely
recognized by authoritative scientific organizations are separated
from chemicals whose health hazards are suspected on the basis of more
limited data.
Lists are available for 12 different adverse health effects. Select
"recognized" or "suspected" to retrieve a list of the chemicals that are
associated with a specific health effect. For each chemical on a list,
Scorecard links to a comprehensive profile and summarizes the scientific
reference(s) that document that chemical's association with a health
hazard.
