National Library of Medicine
NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH ◊ U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Identify and validate an unknown chemical based on the following criteria: • Physical properties of the substance gathered by observation or sensors
• Signs and symptoms of victims of exposure
• Categorize a substance, such as a substance used in a meth lab or a flammable substance
• Hazard values from NFPA 704 placards
• Transportation identification, including DOT placards, type of road trailer, and type of rail car
