description: 'RTECS is a compendium of data extracted from the open scientific literature.
  The data are recorded in the format developed by the RTECS staff and arranged in
  alphabetical order by prime chemical name. Six types of toxicity data are included
  in the file: (1) primary irritation; (2) mutagenic effects; (3) reproductive effects;
  (4) tumorigenic effects; (5) acute toxicity; and (6) other multiple dose toxicity.
  Specific numeric toxicity values such as LD50, LC50, TDLo, and TCLo are noted as
  well as species studied and route of administration used. For each citation, the
  bibliographic source is listed thereby enabling the user to access the actual studies
  cited. No attempt has been made to evaluate the studies cited in RTECS. The user
  has the responsibility of making such assessments.'
