File Description [top]

Chemical Safety NewsBase (CSNB) provides information on the hazardous effects of chemicals and processes encountered by workers in industry and laboratories. The database also covers microbiological and radiation hazards encountered in the workplace. Each record contains an informative abstract. Chemical substances are indexed separately and CAS® Registry Numbers are provided when available.

Subject Coverage [top]

Chemical Safety NewsBase contains information on the hazards likely to be encountered in the chemical and allied industries and on the hazards encountered in all types of laboratories. CSNB will be of interest to workers, safety officers, and all those concerned with health and safety management. The database includes information on:

  • Animal and Microbiological Hazards
  • Biological Effects of Chemicals and Radiation
  • Chemical Reactions
  • Emergency Planning
  • Fires and Explosions
  • Laboratory Design, Management, and Practice
  • Legislation and Standards
  • Occupational Health and Hygiene
  • Safe Practices and Equipment
  • Transportation and Storage of Chemicals
  • Waste Management

Items on well-known hazards are not included unless new information is given. The Chemical Safety NewsBase corresponds to the print publications Chemical Hazards in Industry, and Laboratory Hazards Bulletin.


Sources [top]

Over 120 primary journals are scanned; these include both specialized occupational health publications and chemical, biochemical, toxicological and medical research journals. Items selected include full articles, books, audiovisual material, technical reports, and references to conferences, courses, and forthcoming events.

  /AB   ABSTRACT:   Assumptions are identified and made in an attempt 
         to model the acute human health risk associated with a 
         hypothetical fire in an insecticide storage facility.  The 
         insecticides used in the model are endrin and dimethoate. 
         The model indicates that persons residing a few hundred 
         meters from the facility could suffer a variety of adverse 
         effects, including possible death from contact with smoke 
         from a prolonged, low-temperature fire.  Knowledge of the 
         special hazards of cool toxic smoke as well as current 
         atmospheric conditions could be of use to fire fighters. 
         That is, fire fighters might wisely choose to promote a 
         fast, hot fire which would propel toxicants high into the 
         atmosphere rather than risk local fumigation

To exclude the segments use the /FW suffix; for example S TOLUENE/FW to retrieve the word set off by spaces or punctuation.
