NASA Public Site for Scientific and Technical Information (STI) 

The NTRS is a valuable resource for students, educators, researchers, and the public to use for accessing NASA's current and historical technical literature. NTRS searches three major STI collections: NACA (1915-1958), NASA (1958-present), and NASA Image eXchange (NIX) (1900-present). NTRS provides access to citations (i.e., references) and online documents and imagery for the following kinds of information: conference papers, images, journal articles, photos, meeting papers, movies, patents, research reports, and technical videos.

Air Contaminants Databases Ease Healthy Homes Planning 

Air pollution sources are everywhere in the home, from the bacon and eggs frying in the kitchen, to the woodburning stove in the family room, the newly painted hallway, and even the carpet in the living room. To help estimate the seriousness of these and other indoor pollutant sources as well as to devise ways to reduce possible health impacts, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has developed searchable databases of relevant product emission studies.

NIST researchers also have created a software tool called ContamLink that can transfer selected information from the databases into CONTAM, an indoor air quality modeling software program that predicts airflows and contaminant concentrations in multizone building systems. Together—the electronic databases, ContamLink, and the CONTAM program—should significantly accelerate our understanding of indoor air pollution.

The new databases allow investigators to access immediately information that previously was available in scientific literature, but required significant time to locate. The databases include emission rates for consumer products, cooking and combustion appliances (such as gas stoves); and data on contaminant transport mechanisms, including particle deposition, contaminant sorption and different ventilation systems filters. Two of the five databases are from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the National Research Council of Canada. Researchers can download the databases, and with ContamLink, selectively obtain relevant information for inclusion in CONTAM or other indoor air quality models. Database entries are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather representative of the literature. Researchers and other practitioners are encouraged to expand the databases with their own data using the data entry format provided.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development(HUD) Healthy Homes Initiative supported the NIST development of the databases and software tool. Information on both are available in NISTIR 7364, Database Tools for Modeling Emissions and Control of Air Pollutants from Consumer Products, Cooking and Combustion available on the CONTAM Web site: www.bfrl.nist.gov/IAQanalysis/software/.

COMAR - Database on Certified Reference Materials 

COMAR is an internet based information service to assist testing and analytical laboratories in finding the certified reference material they need. COMAR is maintained in a co-operation of national or international institutes. The use of COMAR is free of charge. Users have to register online. COMAR is a liaison partner with ISO Committee on Reference Materials (REMCO).

# Why certified reference materials? top Certified reference materials provide "measurement benchmarks" for materials testing and chemical analysis and ensure reliability and comparability of measurements in these fields.
# CRM play an important roll in establishing traceability in chemical analysis.
# The use of CRM is a basic requirement in quality assurance (e.g. pointed out in the international standard ISO 17025).
# Utilisation of CRMs is described in the ISO Guide 33 "Use of certified reference materials".

Contents of the database
# CRM name and producer's address
# CRM description (e.g. searchable keywords, intended use, packaging form and unit size, storage conditions)
# certified properties (chemical composition, physical or conventional properties)
# certificate, report, references CRMs are classified by fields of application, with 8 main-fields with up to 10 sub-fields
# Ferrous metals
# Non ferrous metals
# Industrial materials
# Physical properties
# Organics
# Inorganics
# Quality of life
# Biological & Clinical
