Databases Include: ChemEXPERT™, ReproEXPERT™, ListEXPERT™, DrugEXPERT™, and MSDSonline® Offer Chemical Safety and Regulatory Information on Chemical Hazards.
Ipswich, MA (PRWEB) March 6, 2010 -- EBSCO Publishing (EBSCO) has acquired Expert Publishing (ExPub), the premier provider of up-to-date, decision-support chemical information for the global environmental health & safety (EH&S) community. ExPub databases provide access to millions of documents containing comprehensive human and/or environmental hazard data needed to manage the impact of chemicals in the workplace or on the environment. ExPub databases offer EBSCO a variety of options for enhancing existing databases and creating new resources, as well as offerings that are complementary to current EBSCOhost® databases.
The global implications of recent changes in European chemical regulations, legislative and regulatory efforts in Congress to reform American chemical regulatory polices, and consumer fears about chemicals in consumer products—as evidenced by the recent BPA scare—emphasize the importance of having access to comprehensive and authoritative information on the potential hazards of chemicals.

Companies and agencies that use or regulate chemicals are able to access the latest, up-to-date documents on chemical hazards and toxicology. ExPub databases are designed for organizations that need to research and understand the human health hazards associated with chronic and acute exposures to chemicals in the workplace and the environment. The databases can also be used by those responsible for developing chemical regulatory and trade policies and controls. In addition, the resources are of value to organizations tasked with homeland and facilities security and border control.
Matt Timberlake, president of ExPub says fast, reliable access is essential to the professionals using these databases. “Our users include Hazmat/Emergency Response Personnel, toxicologists, industrial hygienists, physicians, product stewards, safety managers, and other risk assessment professionals. ExPub databases include essential information for emergencies like responding to fires, spills, or chemical explosions, as well as more day-to-day needs like creating and maintaining healthy and compliant workplaces, MSDS authoring, product labeling, regulatory submissions, and developing site safety plans.”
EBSCO Publishing Vice President of Business Development, Mark Herrick says the acquisition is, as with all EBSCO acquisitions, designed to provide for the further support and development of EBSCO databases. “Having ExPub as part of EBSCO will allow us to create even more superior products and give our users access to more content, including some content from the former Environmental Chemistry Information System (ECIS) which we acquired when we purchased the NISC databases. There are also additional plans to develop new resources and provide ExPub content alongside or within existing EBSCOhost databases.”
