The Toxicology and Environmental Health Information Program (TEHIP), a component of the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) National Library of Medicine (NLM), maintains a comprehensive toxicology and environmental health website that includes access to resources produced by TEHIP and other government and non-government groups. This website includes links to databases, bibliographies, tutorials, and other scientific and consumer-oriented resources. TEHIP also is responsible for the Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET®), an integrated system of toxicology and environmental health databases that are available free of charge on the web. TEHIP is part of the Specialized Information Services (SIS) Division of NLM. SIS is responsible for information resources and services in toxicology, environmental health, chemistry, HIV/AIDS, and specialized topics in minority health. SIS provides access to online databases, responds to queries, produces bibliographies and other publications, and works with other Federal government agencies to provide health information to the world.
