WISER – Accessing the Information

• Identify a known substance• Explore the wealth of

substance data• Map the protective distance

• Identify an unknown chemical• Investigate identification

criteria• Analyze and compare results

Page 7: Alternative Routes to  NLMs  Chemical Information

Known Substance

• Type in substance name (Chlorine) or ID # (UN 1017)

• Select information needed

Page 8: Alternative Routes to  NLMs  Chemical Information

Help Identify an unknown chemical based on:• Properties• Signs/symptoms

(shown at right)• Categories• NFPA placard• Transportation type

Unknown Chemical – Help Identify

CHEMM Website• Tool for mass casualty chemical

events

• Scope :• Training• Planning• Response during event

• Available on the internet & downloadable (for times when internet connectivity is unavailable)

• Integration into WISER brings CHEMM to mobile platforms & leverages WISER’s wide user-base http://chemm.nlm.nih.gov/
