NLM Toxicology and Environmental Health Info
Laboratories can be dangerous.

The US National Library of Medicine (NLM) offers a guide to web resources in
laboratory safety with links to information for clinical, academic and
school labs. It includes resources for handling chemical, biological, and
nanotechnology safely.

The guide also links to repositories of health and safety videos and
includes pre-formulated searches of NLM resources.

Great site, with lots of good reference information! It's nice to see the
online resources collected in one spot, an obvious advantage over the
organization (or lack thereof) of the Bookmarked sites on my browser...

One drawback, however, is that the main link in the Material (sic) Safety
Data Sheet section points to the SIRI site, which does not appear to have
been updated to GHS-SDS. [I did a VERY limited search - one chemical(!),
sodium dichromate - and found only old MSDS.]

As always, thanks for sharing with CHAS!
Sincerely,
Irene Cesa
