Bibliographic information Mar. 1992, Vol.30, No.1, p.59-69. Illus. 24 ref.
Abstract The structure, contents and purpose of the Danish Product Register Data Base (PROBAS) are described. The data base contains information on the use and adverse effects on health and the environment of substances and products used in Denmark. Data sources are notifications of hazardous chemical products and data from investigations on occurrence or use of chemicals made by, for example, the Danish National Institute of Occupational Health. Tables show available information categories along with the most frequently recorded product categories and industrial areas of use. The limitations of the use of such a data base are discussed.
