Pharos Chemical and Material Library

The Pharos Chemical & Material Library provides easy online access to chemical hazard information for over 20,000 CASRN identified substances using the hazard lists identified by the GreenScreen List Translator. Users can look up chemicals by CASRN or name to determine health and ecotoxicity endpoints, hazard levels, and GreenScreen® Benchmark scores as per the List Translator. The Chemical and Material Library was developed by the Healthy Building Network (HBN) as part of a suite of tools to evaluate the health and environmental impact of building materials. The GreenScreen benchmark system informs but is distinct from the Pharos scoring system for building products.
