NIOSH
Pocket Guide to Chemical Hazards
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 2005-149
Exposure limits, Respirator Recommendations, First Aid, more...
The Pocket Guide is a source of general industrial hygiene information on several
hundred chemicals/classes found in the work environment. Key data provided for
each chemical/substance includes name (including synonyms/trade names), structure/formula,
CAS/RTECS numbers, DOT ID, conversion factors, exposure limits, IDLH, chemical
and physical properties, measurement methods, personal protection, respirator
recommendations, symptoms, and first aid.
International Chemical Safety Cards
An ICSC summarizes essential health and safety information on chemicals for their use at the "shop floor" level by workers and employers in factories, agriculture, construction and
other work places.
Documentation for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Concentrations (IDLH)
The IDLH documents the criteria and
information sources that have been used by NIOSH to determine immediately
dangerous to life or health concentrations.
The Emergency Response Safety and Health Database (ERSH-DB)
Developed by NIOSH for the emergency response community, The ERSH-DB contains accurate and concise information on high-priority chemical, biological and radiological agents that could be encountered by personnel responding to a terrorist event.
NIOSH Alert – Reducing the Potential
Risk of Developing Cancer from Exposure to Gallium Arsenide in the Microelectronics
Industry
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 88-100 (October 1987)
Recent experimental animal studies have indicated that gallium arsenide
dissociates in the body to release gallium and arsenic. The arsenic is
inorganic, biologically available, and distributed throughout the body.
Current Intelligence Bulletin No. 14 – Inorganic Arsenic (respiratory)
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 78-127 (September 1976)
Contains a standard for mitigation of exposure to inorganic arsenic (respiratory)
to prevent adverse effects over a working lifetime.
NIOSH Criteria Document – Criteria
for a Recommended Standard: Occupational Exposure to Inorganic Arsenic
DHHS (NIOSH) Publication No. 75-149 (1975)
Presents a standard to prevent the adverse effects of exposure to arsenic over
a working lifetime.
NIOSH Manual of Analytical Methods (NMAM)
NMAM is a collection of methods for sampling and analysis of contaminants in workplace air, and in the blood and urine of workers who are occupationally exposed.
