Toxipedia has announced the launch of The World Library of Toxicology, Chemical Safety, and Environmental Health (WLT). The WLT is a free global Web portal that provides the scientific community and public with links to major government agencies, non-governmental organizations, universities, professional societies, and other groups addressing issues related to toxicology, public health, and environmental health.

WLT seeks to overcome barriers to the sharing of information between countries by creating a partnership of national and international organizations contributing high-quality scientific information resources in toxicology and environmental health to a borderless data depository. The overall goal is to improve global public health.

The World Library of Toxicology, Chemical Safety, and Environmental Health was originally developed by the Division of Specialized Information Services (SIS) of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. It is currently being developed and maintained as a partnership between Toxipedia, the International Union of Toxicology (IUTOX), and NLM.
