Flinn Scientific Safety Data and Resources -- Fifteen articles ranging from ''goggle safety'' to ''where and why science accidents occur.'' Worthwhile reading for any science teacher.
Hazardous Products and Compounds in the Home -- Alphabetical listing of many household products and the hazardous compounds which make up these products. Many of these materials are used in labs, experiments and even art projects.
Incompatible Chemicals -- A wide variety of chemicals react dangerously when mixed with certain other materials. Some of the more widely-used incompatible chemicals are listed here, but the absence of a chemical from this list should not be taken to indicate that it is safe to mix it with any other chemical.
Laboratory Chemical Safety Summaries -- Concise, critical discussions of the toxicity, flammability, reactivity, and explosibility of 88 chemicals commonly used in scientific research laboratories. Directions for handling, storage, and disposal and special instructions for first aid and emergency response are given. Unlike most Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), the LCSSs are designed especially for laboratory workers.
