This new tool will provide users with easy-to-understand details on exposure symptoms and health impacts of chemical compounds associated with industrial operations.
Compounds of Concern will be especially helpful to anyone living near polluting facilities.
For example, if you are having trouble breathing and want to know what compound(s) may be causing that symptom, you can find possible answers here.
Or, if you hear about the release of a chemical compound from a nearby facility in the news, you can find out more about what that compound is, how it’s used, and its related health effects.
This event is open to everyone, as anyone can find themselves exposed to industrial pollutants.
We think people living near industrial activity or engaged in environmental sampling projects will find the Compounds of Concern tool particularly useful.
