Chemical emergency preparedness program: chemical profiles. Interim guidance
The document, developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is part of the USEPA National Air Toxics Strategy. The document is provided in support of EPA Chemical Emergency Preparedness Program (CEPP) which deals with accidental release of acutely toxic chemicals. For each acutely toxic chemical listed in the CEPP guidance document (report number PB86-155256), a chemical profile is available. A chemical profile is a collection of information on the chemical identity hazardous identity, physical/chemical characteristics, fire and explosive hazard, reactivity, health hazard, use, and precautions for handling and use of the chemical. The information is presented in the format that conforms as closely as possible to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommended format for a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
