ctxR: Hazard API
Introduction
In this vignette, CTX Hazard API will be explored.
Data for the Hazard API come from the Toxicity Value Database (ToxValDB). ToxValDB includes data on thousands of chemicals from tens of thousands of records, with an emphasis on quantitative estimates of relevant points-of-departure from in vivo toxicology studies, such as no- and low-observable adverse effect levels, screening levels, reference doses, tolerable daily intake, etc.
The Aggregated Computational Toxicology Resource (ACToR) is currently being integrated into ToxValDB. ACToR, as described in Judson et al (2008), was designed to serve as a central location for information on chemical structure in vitro bioassays, and in vivo toxicology assays used in various Computational Toxicology efforts at US EPA.
More information on ToxValDB can be found at https://www.epa.gov/comptox-tools/downloadable-computational-toxicology-data#AT. Additional resources are available under the “ToxVal” subtopic: New Approach Methods training.
NOTE: Please see the introductory vignette for an overview of the ctxR package and initial set up instruction with API key storage.
Several ctxR functions can be used to access the CTX Hazard API data, as described in the following sections.Tables output in each example have been filtered to only display the first few rows of data.
Hazard Resource
Get Hazard Data by DTXSID
get_hazard_by_dtxsid() retrieves all hazard data, both
human and EcoTox data.
Get Human Hazard Data by DTXSID
get_human_hazard_by_dtxsid() retrieves only human hazard
data.
Skin Eye Resource
get_skin_eye_hazard() retrieves hazard data specific to
skin and eye hazard.
Cancer Resource
get_cancer_hazard() retrieves cancer hazard data.
Genetox Resource
get_genetox_summary() retrieves summary level data for
genotoxicity data associated to a chemical.
get_genetox_detail() retrieves more detailed genetox
data for a chemical than is provided on the summary level.
Example Use Case: Comparing Hazard Data Across Chemical Lists
The fourth Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL4) is a set of chemicals that “…are not subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking water regulations, but are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems….” Moreover, this list “…was announced on November 17, 2016. The CCL 4 includes 97 chemicals or chemical groups and 12 microbial contaminants….” The National-Scale Air Toxics Assessments (NATA) is “… EPA’s ongoing comprehensive evaluation of air toxics in the United States… a state-of-the-science screening tool for State/Local/Tribal agencies to prioritize pollutants, emission sources and locations of interest for further study in order to gain a better understanding of risks… use general information about sources to develop estimates of risks which are more likely to overestimate impacts than underestimate them….”
These lists can be found in the CCD at CCL4 with additional information at CCL4 information and NATADB with additional information at NATA information. The quotes from the previous paragraph were excerpted from list detail descriptions found using the CCD links.
In this example use case, hazard data will be compared between a water contaminant priority and an air toxics list.
Obtain Lists of Chemicals
First, confirm the chemical list to query.

#> longDescription
#> 1 The Contaminant Candidate List (CCL) is a list of contaminants that, at the time of publication, are not subject to any proposed or promulgated national primary drinking water regulations, but are known or anticipated to occur in public water systems. Contaminants listed on the CCL may require future regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA). EPA announced the <a href='https://www.epa.gov/ccl/contaminant-candidate-list-4-ccl-4-0' target='_blank'>fourth Drinking Water Contaminant Candidate List (CCL 4)</a> on November 17, 2016. The CCL 4 includes 97 chemicals or chemical groups and 12 microbial contaminants. The group of cyanotoxins on CCL 4 includes, but is not limited to: anatoxin-a, cylindrospermopsin, microcystins, and saxitoxin. The CCL Chemical Candidate Lists are versioned iteratively and this description navigates between the various versions of the lists. The list of substances displayed below represents only the chemical CCL 4 contaminants. For the versioned lists, please use the hyperlinked lists below.<br/><br/> \r\n\r\n<a href='https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard/chemical_lists/CCL5' target='_blank'>CCL5 - November 2022</a> <br/><br/>\r\n<a href='https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard/chemical_lists/CCL4' target='_blank'>CCL4 - November 2016</a> \r\n This list<br/><br/>\r\n<a href='https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard/chemical_lists/CCL3' target='_blank'>CCL3 - October 2009</a> <br/><br/>\r\n<a href='https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard/chemical_lists/CCL2' target='_blank'>CCL2 - February 2005</a><br/><br/>\r\n<a href='https://comptox.epa.gov/dashboard/chemical_lists/CCL1' target='_blank'>CCL1 - March 1998</a><br/><br/>

#> 1 454 federal EPA: National-Scale Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) PUBLIC
#> longDescription
#> 1 The National-Scale Air Toxics Assessment (NATA) is EPA's ongoing comprehensive evaluation of air toxics in the United States. EPA developed the NATA as a state-of-the-science screening tool for State/Local/Tribal Agencies to prioritize pollutants, emission sources and locations of interest for further study in order to gain a better understanding of risks. NATA assessments do not incorporate refined information about emission sources but, rather, use general information about sources to develop estimates of risks which are more likely to overestimate impacts than underestimate them.\r\n\r\nNATA provides estimates of the risk of cancer and other serious health effects from breathing (inhaling) air toxics in order to inform both national and more localized efforts to identify and prioritize air toxics, emission source types and locations which are of greatest potential concern in terms of contributing to population risk. This in turn helps air pollution experts focus limited analytical resources on areas and or populations where the potential for health risks are highest. Assessments include estimates of cancer and non-cancer health effects based on chronic exposure from outdoor sources, including assessments of non-cancer health effects for Diesel Particulate Matter (PM). Assessments provide a snapshot of the outdoor air quality and the risks to human health that would result if air toxic emissions levels remained unchanged.

Review Genotoxicity Data for a Single Chemical
Using the standard CompTox Chemicals Dashboard approach to access genotoxicity hazard data, one would navigate to the individual chemical page as shown below.
Figure 2 shows the genotoxicity section of the hazard tab for Bisphenol A. This page provides a summary of available genotoxicity data as well as individual reports and samples of such data.
The CTX APIs streamline the process of retrieving this information in
a programmatic fashion. Figure 3 shows the particular set of
genotoxicity resources available in the Hazard endpoints of
the CTX APIs. There are both summary and detail resources, reflecting
the information one can find on the CompTox Chemicals Dashboard
Genotoxicity page for a given chemical.
Review Genotoxicity Data for Chemical Lists
The function get_genetox_summary() is used to access
summary genotoxicity information per chemical. To query a list of
chemicals, rather than searching individually for each chemical, the
batch search version of the function,
get_genetox_summary_batch(), can be used to access these
details.
First, pull the data.
ccl4_genotox <- get_genetox_summary_batch(DTXSID = ccl4$dtxsid)
natadb_genetox <- get_genetox_summary_batch(DTXSID = natadb$dtxsid)Next, it may be helpful to examine the dimensions and column names of the output.

The different assay categories are “in vitro”, “ND”, and “in vivo”, with 65 unique “in vitro” assays for CCl4 and 83 for NATADB, 3 unique “ND” assays for CCL4 and 3 for NATADB, and 22 unique “in vivo” assays for CCL4 and 28 for NATADB.
One may be interested in looking at the number of chemicals for which
an assay resulted in a positive or negative result. To assess this,
group by assayResult and determine the number of unique
dtxsid values associated with each assayResult
value.

assay result, 130 that have a positive result, and 48 that have an
equivocal result. Observe that since there are 72 unique
dtxsid values with assay results in CCL4 and 153 in NATADB,
there are several chemicals that have multiple assay results.
Next, determine the chemicals from each chemical list that are known
to have genotoxic effects. For this, examine which chemicals produce at
least one positive response in the assayResult column.

Review Hazard Data for Chemical Lists
Hazard data associated with the chemicals in each chemical list can be retrieved. For each chemical, there are potentially hundreds of rows of hazard data, so the returned results will be much larger than in most other API endpoints. We model how one would structure such a query of the chemicals in CCL4 and NATADB, and leave it to the reader to explore the data in a similar fashion to the previous examples.
ccl4_hazard <- get_hazard_by_dtxsid_batch(DTXSID = ccl4$dtxsid)
natadb_hazard <- get_hazard_by_dtxsid_batch(DTXSID = natadb$dtxsid)Next, it may be helpful to examine the dimensions and column names of the output.
Conclusion
In this vignette, a variety of functions that access different types
of data found in the Hazard endpoints of the CTX APIs were
explored. While this exploration was not exhaustive, it provides a basic
introduction to how one may access data and work with it. Additional
endpoints and corresponding functions exist and we encourage the user to
explore these while keeping in mind the examples contained in this
vignette.
