ChemIDplus: a chemical dictionary and structure database
TOXMAP (http://toxmap.nlm.nih.gov/: a web site that uses maps of the United States to show the amount and location of certain toxic chemicals released into the environment
WISER (http://wiser.nlm.nih.gov): a PDA application designed to assist first responders in hazardous material incidents
Haz-Map® (http://hazmap.nlm.nih.gov): web site that links jobs and hazardous tasks with occupational diseases and their symptoms.

SIS also produces:

Some SIS products help to address the toxicology and environmental health information needs of the general public:

It is a companion to the extensive information in the TOXNET collection of databases. Tox Town also offers some resources in Spanish (http://toxtown.nlm.nih.gov/espanol/)
Household Products Database: a consumer guide that provides information on the potential health effects of chemicals contained in more than 6,000 common household products used inside and around the home. This database allows consumers, scientists, and health professionals to investigate ingredients in brand-name products.
