Veterinary Substances DataBase

Veterinary pharmaceuticals are biologically active and potentially persistent substances which are recognised as a continuing threat to environmental quality. Whilst the environmental risk of agricultural pesticides has had considerable attention in recent decades, risks assessments for veterinary pharmaceuticals have only relatively recently begun to be addressed. Risk assessments and risk modelling tend to be inherently data hungry processes and one of the main obstacles to consistent, accurate and efficient assessments is the need for a reliable, quality and comprehensive data source. The Veterinary Substances DataBase (VSDB) from the Agriculture & Environment Research Unit (AERU) at the University of Hertfordshire provides a comprehensive relational database of physicochemical and toxicological data for these substances.兽药（Veterinary pharmaceuticals）是具有生物活性且潜在持久性的物质，现已被公认为持续威胁环境质量的一类物质。尽管近数十年来，农业农药的环境风险已受到广泛关注，但针对兽药的环境风险评估直至近年才逐步得到重视。风险评估与风险建模本质上均为高度依赖数据的工作，而制约评估实现一致、准确与高效的主要障碍之一，便是亟需获取可靠、优质且全面的数据源。赫特福德大学（University of Hertfordshire）农业与环境研究部（Agriculture & Environment Research Unit, AERU）所构建的兽药数据库（Veterinary Substances DataBase, VSDB），为这类物质提供了涵盖理化与毒理学数据的全面关系型数据库。

背景概述

VSDB是由赫特福德大学开发的兽医药物数据库，提供全面的物理化学与毒理学数据，旨在弥补兽医药物环境风险评估中高质量数据源的不足，与该校的农药属性数据库PPDB形成互补。
