[Dissemination of the Japanese version of the International Chemical Safety Card (ICSC) on the World Wide Web (WWW)].

ge of the Japanese version of the International Chemical Safety Cards (ICSC). We prepared the Japanese text files of ICSC, converted them into HTML files and also prepared the dictionary database for the retrieval system, using programs which we developed. These programs shortened the time of work remarkably. 2D- and 3D-structures of chemicals were also incorporated in each ICSC page. Approximately 900 ICSCs in Japanese are provided at the moment on the homepage.
