Aussie Tool Boosts Chemical Data Handling

Dept of Climate Change, Energy, Environment & Water

We've developed an open-source tool called the Global Inventory Compiler (GIC). It supports analysis of large-scale chemical information from regulatory systems around the world.

The tool can help researchers and policymakers to identify chemicals of concern. It helps to:

  • outline international regulatory approaches
  • support environmental risk assessment and decision-making.

The GIC underpins our department's Australian Regulatory Cheminformatics Engine (ARChIE). This is an internal capability, supporting:

  • chemical risk assessment
  • prioritisation across government.

The capability has attracted growing international interest. It's currently used in university research to support environmental and human health monitoring.

The open-source tool helps researchers and regulators to share knowledge. It also supports innovative ways to analyse chemical data.

If you're a technical user, you can apply these methods to your own data. Access the GIC on our GitHub(external link).
