This system will have a dual function. It will enhance not only emergency preparedness, antiterrorist activity but also the public health system. Such a view is suggested by Marmagas et al.[10] about possible connection between preparedness against biological terrorism, public health infrastructure, chronic disease and environmental health tracking network.

Many facilities already measure the above parameters (and many others) on a regular basis to control plant operations and confirm chemical mixture quality more closely monitoring these parameters may create operational benefits for facilities that extend far beyond security, such as reducing operating costs and chemical usage. Chemical industrial facilities also should thoughtfully monitor customer complaints and improve connections with local public health networks to detect public health anomalies. Customer complaints and public health anomalies are important ways to detect potential contamination problems and other environmental quality concerns.

As the first step in a risk assessment, laboratory workers should examine their plan for a proposed experiment and identify the chemicals whose toxicological properties they are not already familiar with from previous experience. The MSDS for each unfamiliar chemical should then be examined. Procedures for accessing MSDS files vary from institution to institution. In some cases, MSDS files may be present in each laboratory, while in many cases complete files of MSDSs are maintained only in a central location, such as the institution s environmental health and safety office. Some laboratories now have the capability to access MSDSs electronically, either from CD-ROM disks or via computer networks. As a last resort, the laboratory worker can always contact the chemical supplier directly and request that an MSDS be sent by mail.
