NORMAN databases on emerging substances

NORMAN Association organises the development and maintenance of three web-based databases for collection & evaluation of data /information on emerging substances:

  • EMPOMAP: a database of experts, organisations and projects dealing with emerging substances
  • EMPODAT: a database of geo-referenced monitoring/occurrence data on emerging substances
  • EMPOMASS: a database of mass spectra of unknown or provisionally identified substances.

These database are developed and integrated so as to:

  • bring together the existing knowledge on emerging substances and
  • set up a framework for systematic collection, elaboration and scientifically sound evaluation of future data.
