The National Library of Medicine (NLM), Division of Specialized Information Services, has released a PDA system designed to assist first responders during hazardous material incidents: WISER (Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders, http://wiser.nlm.nih.gov <http://wiser.nlm.nih.gov> ). WISER provides a wide range of information on hazardous substances, including chemical identification support, physical characteristics, emergency medical treatment, containment and suppression information. First responders in general, and Hazmat (hazardous materials) units in particular, must make many decisions quickly in handling hazardous-materials incidents. Emergency response teams need accurate information about the clinical and environmental impacts of hazardous substances. The WISER application extracts related, relevant content from NLM' s Hazardous Substance Data Bank (HSDB http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?HSDB <http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?HSDB> ), an authoritative information resource. Features of WISER * Rapid access to the most important information for 390 hazardous substances via a PDA *Comprehensive decision support, including assistance in identification of an unknown substance and, once the substance is identified, guidance on immediate actions necessary to save lives and protect the environment * Access to NLM's Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), which contains detailed peer-reviewed information on hazardous substances * Mobile support, providing first responders with critical information where they need it, when they need it * Intuitive, simple, and logical user interface. WISER for Palm OS is now available for download at http://wiser.nlm.nih.gov <http://wiser.nlm.nih.gov> *********************************************************** *********************************************************** *********NLM-Tox-Enviro-Health-L NOTICE********* You are receiving this message as a subscribed member of NLM-Tox-Enviro-Health-L, an announcement list available from the National Library of Medicine, Division of Specialized Information Services ( <http://sis.nlm.nih.gov/> http://sis.nlm.nih.gov).
