作为一种名为“发现”的法律的机制的结果，作者积累了数百万份与新产品和化学品引入工作场所和商业有关的公司和行业协会内部文件。这些私营实体彼此之间以及与其专家讨论了什么？大量的文件，既是福也是祸，为公司和监管历史开辟了新的来源和有趣的问题。但他们也对历史学家提出了几乎无法克服的挑战。因此，出现了毒理学，只有通过被称为“大数据”的技术创新才有可能。这指的是新数字数据的绝对数量和分析它们的计算能力。用户将能够确定哪些公司知道（或不知道）他们产品中有毒物质的危险性以及何时知道。该数据库开放了许多领域，包括环境研究，商业历史，政府监管和公共政策。毒物学将继续是一种免费的资源，对世界上任何地方的所有人开放。
As a result of a legal mechanism calleddiscovery, the authors accumulated millions of internal corporate and trade association documents related to the introduction of new products and chemicals into workplaces and commerce. What did these private entities discuss among themselves and with their experts? The plethora of documents, both a blessing and a curse, opened new sources and interesting questions about corporate and regulatory histories. But they also posed an almost insurmountable challenge to historians. Thus emerged ToxicDocs, possible only with a technological innovation known as “Big Data.” That refers to the sheer volume of new digital data and to the computational power to analyze them. Users will be able to identify what firms knew (or did not know) about the dangers of toxic substances in their products—and when. The database opens many areas to inquiry including environmental studies, business history, government regulation, and public policy. ToxicDocs will remain a resource free and open to all, anywhere in the world.
