The Chemical Incident Screening Database helps identify and evaluate chemical incidents in the US. This study explores its potential as a national surveillance tool for chemical safety.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Public Health
  • Chemical Safety

Background:

  • The Chemical Safety Board (CSB) uses a database to screen chemical incidents.
  • Understanding the scope of chemical incidents is crucial for public safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the CSB's Chemical Incident Screening Database.
  • To summarize statistics on chemical incidents in the US.
  • To explore the database's potential as a national surveillance tool.

Main Methods:

  • Descriptive statistics from the CSB database.
  • Comparison with EPA and ATSDR databases.
  • Preliminary exploration of a national surveillance system.

Main Results:
