• Calls extr_monograph to return monographs informations from WHO IARC.

• Calls extr_pubchem_ghs to retrieve GHS classification data from PubChem.

• Calls extr_ice to gather assay data from the ICE database.

• Calls extr_iris to retrieve risk assessment information from the IRIS database.

• Calls extr_comptox to retrieve data from the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard.

Value
