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.
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.

Over the past 30 years, Sulfur dioxide emissions have decreased by
more than a third. EPA has implemented innovative, flexible programs
to continue the national reductions, prevent degradation, and improve
local air quality.
