CAMEO Chemicals

CAMEO Chemicals offers a comprehensive database of hazardous chemical datasheets designed to assist emergency responders and planners in making informed decisions. This essential tool provides valuable response recommendations and helps predict potential hazards such as explosions or toxic fumes. Noteworthy for its offline functionality, the app ensures access to critical information even in areas with limited connectivity.

• Search Capabilities: Efficiently locate chemicals of interest by name, CAS number, or UN/NA number within an extensive database comprising thousands of hazardous substances. The inclusion of a "type ahead" feature simplifies chemical name searches, while an advanced search option allows for more specific queries.
• Data Insights: Review detailed chemical datasheets encompassing physical properties, health hazards, air and water hazard information, firefighting recommendations, first aid protocols, spill response guidance, and regulatory details.
• Additional Resources: Access supplementary information from the U.S. Coast Guard CHRIS manual, the NIOSH Pocket Guide, and International Chemical Safety Cards through embedded links on many chemical datasheets.
• UN/NA Datasheets: Gain access to response information from the Emergency Response Guidebook (ERG) and shipping details sourced from the Hazardous Materials Table. ERG Response Guide PDFs are available in multiple languages, including English, Spanish, and French. The app also enables users to visualize ERG initial isolation and protective action distance tables on a map where provided.
• Hazard Prediction: Anticipate potential hazards stemming from chemical interactions, offering insights into safety protocols.
• Offline Functionality: Operate the app without an internet connection to search for chemical and UN/NA datasheets, access ERG Response Guide PDFs and U.S. Coast Guard CHRIS PDFs, create personalized MyChemicals collections, view reactivity predictions, and more. Online connectivity allows for external website exploration for additional resources.

CAMEO Chemicals stands as a collaborative effort between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Office of Response and Restoration in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Office of Emergency Management. As a core component of the CAMEO software suite, this tool is instrumental in enhancing preparedness and response strategies in scenarios involving hazardous chemicals.
