In matters regarding workplace safety, refer to current OSHA regulations (29CFR) and NIOSH guidelines or your own country's health and safety regulations. To ensure regulatory compliance when transporting hazardous materials or dangerous goods, one must receive proper training and certification from a qualified instructor and refer to the current year's Code of Federal Regulations Title 49 (49CFR) or your country's shipping regulations.

National Library of Medicine and many other related resources. Reference Sourcesĭata for this database was compiled from: hundreds of Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) of common industrial and household products the Hazardous Materials Table from the United States "Code of Federal Regulations" title 49 section 172.101 the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards the US DOT 1996, 2000 & 2004 Emergency Response Guidebooks U.S. In some instances chemicals that are very similar from a health & safety and/or regulatory standpoint also may have been lumped together. It is not uncommon for wide range of molar ratios of a mixture to be lumped together as "synonyms" of the same "chemical". Some chemicals listed in this database or not pure chemical compounds, rather they are mixtures/solutions of chemicals. If you are aware of any synonyms listed above that are registered trademarks, please contact us with relevant information so that trademarks can be appropriately noted. The more common, regulated and/or hazardous a chemical is, the more information I will have likely collected it. Colleagues and friends eventually started suggesting that I make my data available on this website so that others could benefit from my efforts - which I finally did in 2004. To resolve this problem, over the years, I compiled chemical names and identifiers into a personal database, cross referencing regulatory and health safety information when possible. While working with material safety data sheets (MSDS), I found that manufacturers sometimes used obscure names for constituent chemicals and I didn't always have a good idea of what I was dealing with. Information also provided for 3,600 nuclides and 4,400 nuclide decay modes.Įditor's note: Some chemicals in this database contain more information than others due to the original reason this information was collected and how the compilation was accomplished. Provides comprehensive data for each element of the periodic table of elements including up to 40 properties, names in 10 languages and common chemical compounds.
