While this isn't really ham radio related, I felt it worth sharing
with everyone.  Would you ever think you have HazMat in your
home?  

BETHESDA, MARYLAND -- The National Institutes of Health
today unveiled a consumer's guide that provides easy-to-
understand information on the potential health effects of
more than 2,000 ingredients contained in more than 4,000
common household products.

Some household products contain substances that can pose
health risks if they are ingested or inhaled, or if they
come in contact with eyes and skin. The National Library of
Medicine's (NLM) Household Products Database
(http://householdproducts.nlm.nih.gov) provides information
in consumer friendly language on many of these substances
and their potential health effects. For more technical
information users can launch a search for a product or
ingredient in TOXNET from the Product Page in the database.
