Prioritized Database of 3,075 Substances of Environmental Concern in Marine Coatings

3,075 chemical substances associated with marine coatings are listed, with 1,485 classified as substances of potential environmental concern. The database, created by Gavyn C. Lastoria and last updated in June 2026, includes 59 prioritized substances recommended for environmental monitoring. It was developed to address a major knowledge gap regarding the environmental impact of chemical additives in marine coatings.

Use Cases

• Prioritizing chemicals for environmental monitoring based on the list of 59 recommended substances.
• Assessing environmental hazards of marine coating additives using the hazard assessment and fate modeling results.
• Analyzing temporal trends in chemical additive diversity, including the rise of perfluorinated and organosilicon substances.
• Identifying substances of potential concern from the list of 1,485 classified entries for regulatory or research focus.

Strengths

• Contains 3,075 distinct chemical substances, providing a broad inventory.
• Includes a prioritized subset of 59 substances specifically recommended for environmental monitoring.
• Classifies 1,485 substances as being of potential environmental concern based on hazard assessment.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
