Pharmaceuticals in the Environment, Information for Assessing Risk (PEiAR)

The database provides information on prescribed amounts, levels detected in aquatic environments, chemical structure, molecular weight, octanol-water partition coefficients, water solubility, environmental persistence, general toxicity information and specific toxicity levels to five groups of organisms (algae, mollusks, finfish, crustaceans, and select terrestrial animals).

This information will allow users to quickly assess the hazards these drugs might pose to aquatic resources. Also, the paucity of information for many often prescribed drugs may help focus future research.
