CAMEO Chemicals Web Portal

CAMEO Chemicals is an easy-to-use, online tool for emergency responders and planners. The free Web site can be used to:

  • Search An Extensive Chemical Database: The CAMEO chemical database contains response recommendations for thousands of chemicals. Find a chemical of interest by searching on a name, identification number, or other search criteria.
  • View Critical Response Information: Chemical datasheets provide physical properties, health hazards, information about air and water hazards, and recommendations for firefighting, first aid, and spill response. UN/NA datasheets provide response information from the Emergency Response Guidebook and shipping information from the Hazmat Table (49 CFR 172.101).
  • Predict Chemical Reactivity: This tool estimates what hazards could arise if chemicals were to mix.

In addition to the online version of CAMEO Chemicals, there is now a downloadable version of CAMEO Chemicals that you can use to share information with other programs in the CAMEO software suite.

CAMEO Chemicals was developed by NOAA in partnership with the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard. The CAMEO Chemicals Web site is maintained by NOAA's Office of Response and Restoration.
