Your search criteria and your output needs will determine which database to begin searching. You may want to ask yourself the following questions:
What do I know that can be used as search criteria? The name of a
chemical; a site; a company; an EPA Registration number; an MRID; a guideline
sequence number or a date are some of the ways you can search the database. It
is what you know that will determine which database to begin searching.
What information am I expecting to obtain from my search? How
will I use the results? Some of the more common purposes mentioned earlier are
help in registering a product, determining pending registrations, tracking
distributors, etc?
In what format do I need the output? There are several formats available; some are more detailed than others. Many of the output options allow you to determine the amount of detail.
