Environmental Sciences and Pollution Management is the main database for journalson Environmental Pollution Control, however there are many others. Here are our top picks:
Web of Science indexes articles from thousands of journals and also indexes the citations used in those articles, thus allowing the user to see which papers have cited a core paper, and how many times a paper was cited in a given time period.
Web of Science provides access to: the Science Citation Index Expanded 1900-present; the Social Sciences Citation Index 1956-present; and the Arts & Humanities Citation Index 1975-present. Web of Science indexes articles from thousands of journals and also indexes the citations used in those articles, thus allowing the user to see which papers have cited a core paper, and how many times a paper was cited in a given time period. Covers published content is almost every discipline.
Among the library's environmental science databases, this one focuses specifically on pollution control. It also has long coverage (back to 1967). Another important feature is the "thesaurus," which enables you to figure out preferred and alternative keywords for your topic.
The Environmental Sciences Collection provides abstracts and references to the environment literature covering all areas of air, land, water, and noise pollution as well as bacteriology, ecology, toxicology, risk assessment, environmental engineering, environmental biotechnology, waste management, and water resources from 1967 to the present.
SciFinder-n indexes the chemical literature as well as providing searchable information regarding specific chemical substances, reactions, structure and substructure searching, chemical supplier information, and a retrosynthesis planner.

TOXLINE offers rapid access to information in all areas of toxicology, including chemicals and pharmaceuticals, pesticides, environmental pollutants, and mutagens and teratogens.
Covers all aspects of engineering. Includes scholarly journals, conference proceedings, and more.
Compendex is the most comprehensive interdisciplinary engineering database in the world with over 9 million records referencing 5,000 engineering journals and conference materials dating from 1884.
The library offers many databases for public policy journals and reports. Here are our favorites:
Best database for journals from the political science and public policy fields. Has a "thesaurus" which enables you to figure out preferred and alternative keywords for your topic.
