Environment health database

Environment health database is developed by Institute of Urban Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Following the pursuit for environmental health, the database gathers data on the pollutant burden of pollutants in organisms in a time and space dependent manner, the response of organisms to environmental stress, as well as the environmental stress. The data platform will be constructed and contribute to the goal of beautiful China and Silk Road of Green Development.

Databases

Pollutants in organisms database

The biological pollutant database focuses on the biological pollutant load data in the environment, and establishes the database with multi-region, multi-species and multi-pollutant as the main clues, it can provide data support for pollutant ecological risk assessment and biodiversity loss research.

New pollutant control list

The new pollutant control list is based on the Stockholm Convention and the Ministry of Ecology and Environment's new pollutant control list, two environmental protection agreements. The list provides an authoritative reference for governments and businesses to understand the characteristics and potential risks of new pollutants and to provide a scientific basis for formulating appropriate control measures. The checklist could provide guidance to environmental protection departments and enterprises, promote coordination and cooperation in environmental protection and create a cleaner and healthier environment for future sustainable development.

Antibiotic Resistance Gene Abundance Database

The prevalence and spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) leads to the development of bacterial resistance, which is a great threat to human health. This database focuses on the spatial and temporal distribution of ARGs in the environment. It integrates ARG abundance data from various habitats analysed by high-throughput quantitative polymerase chain reaction and contains abundance data on mobile genetic elements (MGEs) associated with the transfer of ARGs. The database provides data support for global environmental ARGs research.

EV-COMM (EV-mediated communication)

The EV-COMM (EV-mediated communication) database is a manually curated database focused on the cell/species interactions mediated by extracellular vesicles (EVs), including 1481 interacting pairs. This database extracts key information on cells/species interactions, methods of isolation and characterization of EVs, and the functions of EV cargoes, based on published literature. It also extends to predict the functional pathways of miRNA cargo in EVs, providing data support for studying EV-mediated information exchange.

Ambient sound database

The environmental sound database makes full use of citizen science, widely collects the global environmental sound and video information, provides the sound big data such as the noise pollution, and provides the data support for the research in the field of environment and health. More than 8 million records have been collected from more than 20,000 people.
