Safer alternatives are referenced from current safer chemical databases and software logic, divided into the following three categories:
Based on substructure, the system lists chemicals with risk levels 3 (usable but safer alternatives may be sought), 4 (safer chemicals), or insufficient data (U: not enough data to determine risk level). Information
