Using the Micro-CSIN Workstation to Provide Chemical Hazard Information

Chemical hazards are of two basic types: emergency situations presenting imminent danger to humans or the environment and existing hazards such as dump sites or chemical storage areas. The information requirements and tools available for responding to these two types of hazards are different, and the Micro-CSIN Workstation developed by Bolt Beranek and Newman (BBN) under the sponsorship of the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the National Library of Medicine (NLM), and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), can respond to both.
