US Army Edgewood Chemical Biological Center Chemical Biological Agent Simulant Knowledge (ASK) V2.0 Database
Abstract:
This paper describes the US Armys Edgewood Chemical Biological Center ECBC computerized AgentSimulant Knowledge ASK V2.0 Data Base. ASK V2.0 contains structural, physical-chemical and toxicological properties, environmental fates, and simulant applications uses information modules for approximately 1300 chemical biological CB agents, tested or proposed candidate CB simulants, and other CB related materials. Additionally, using the ASK V2.0 databases chemical agent physicochemical-toxicological property modules data retrieval and analysis user interface, an immediate agent versus simulant properties comparison can be obtained. Currently, the ASK V2.0 database utilizes MicroSoft Windows Access, Excel, and a stand-alone Java application. The ASK V2.0 database framework will be summarized and the current version of the data base tool will be described.
