AQUIRE (Aquatic Toxicity Information Retrieval) database, established in 1981 by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA), Mid-Continent Ecology Division, Duluth, MN (MED-Duluth), contains scientific papers published both nationally and internationally on the toxic effects of chemicals to aquatic organisms and plants. Independently compiled laboratory data files that include AQUIRE parameters and meet the quality assurance criteria are also included. Toxicity test results and related testing information for any individual chemical from laboratory and field aquatic toxicity tests are extracted and added to AQUIRE. Lethal, sublethal and bioconcentration effects are recorded for freshwater and marine organisms. All AQUIRE data entries have been subjected to established quality assurance procedures. 

The records contain the organism names, water type, test location, test results, reference and reference source information, chemical names, and CAS Registry Numbers®.
