Summary of Research:
We have launched a web platform to register and visualize the monitoring data ofenvironmental contaminants, named ‘ChemTHEATRE’ (Chemicals in the THEATRE: Tractableand Heuristic E-Archive for Traceability and Responsible-care Engagement) at
https://chem-theatre.com/. So far, the data of 83 projects have been registered to the database.
The chemical concentration data in environmental and biological specimens can be found bysample type, chemical name, sampling date and location, or other metadata. Users can export thequery results for further analyses.
The registered data to ChemTHEATRE are also available at the websites of National
Bioscience Database Center, as follows,Integbio Database Catalog: https://integbio.jp/dbcatalog/
