az-Map (Copyright<sup><font size="-2">©</font></sup> 2000-2002) is one of the latest additions to
|
|
the National Library of Medicine (NLM's) Specialized Information Services (SIS) group of information products.
|
|
It is an occupational toxicology database designed to link jobs to hazardous job tasks that may be associated
|
|
with occupational diseases and their symptoms. Haz-Map can be found at <a href="http://hazmap.nlm.nih.gov">http://hazmap.nlm.nih.gov</a>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The database contains three types of information: Hazardous Agents, Occupational Diseases, and High Risk Jobs.
|
|
The 1997 Standard Occupational Classification (SOC) system is the basis for the Haz-Map <em>Jobs</em> data
|
|
and the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system for the <em>Industries</em> data.
|
|
The International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) underlies the <em>Diseases</em> data.
|
|
Additional information came from the classification and summarization of textbooks, journal articles, and
|
|
electronic databases.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Currently, there are 986 chemical and biological agents in Haz-Map tied to industrial processes as well as non-occupational
|
|
activities such as hobbies. The records for these agents include synonyms, chemical formulae and properties,
|
|
and descriptions. Some examples of agents are metals, solvents, and fluorides.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The database links 180 occupational diseases to signs and symptoms of a disease and to hazardous job tasks.
|
|
This connection to a hazardous job task suggests an increased risk for significant exposure and subsequent
|
|
disease. Examples of the high-risk jobs included are cleaning & pest control, food processing, and the health
|
|
care industry. Chronic occupational diseases are linked to both jobs and industries. Acute diseases and infectious
|
|
diseases are linked only to jobs. Cancers are not linked directly to jobs, industries or findings.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Haz-Map contains a Glossary of the chemical and disease-related terms contained in the database. In addition
|
|
to the Glossary, there are <a href="http://hazmap.nlm.nih.gov/hazref.html">connections</a> to the web sites of many of the
|
|
materials used in the creation of the database.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Users can run a Text Search by clicking the Text Search button and keying in the desired terms.
|
|
These terms are searched in all Haz-Map text fields. When using the Agent, Disease, or Job icons, the
|
|
system makes wild card matches for word or word fragments. Phrases can be searched by enclosing words
|
|
in double quotes ("). Searching by Jobs, Symptoms, or a combination of both retrieves Disease information.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
Chemicals are retrieved in several ways. In a standard search, the primary record is returned first, followed by
|
|
additional records containing the word or word fragments of the original query. When a query is enclosed in
|
|
double quotes ("), only the primary record is returned. Users can browse by category, by alphabetical order, or
|
|
by adverse effects of agents. A link to <a href="http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov">TOXNET</a> is included,
|
|
allowing users to retrieve more information on a particular chemical. A chemical's Chemical Abstracts Service
|
|
(CAS) Registry Number is also searchable in Haz-Map.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Results pages link to information related to the particular record of interest. An example is the disease
|
|
aplastic anemia. In addition to the link to the main record for this disease, you will also see links to
|
|
"Symptoms associated with this disease," "Hazardous agents that cause this disease," and
|
|
"High risk job tasks associated with this disease."
|
|

|
|
occupational medicine.
