AB There  are  over  50,000  hazardous  chemicals  used  in  various  industrial  processes  throughout  the  United  States.  Exposures  are  inevitable  and  the  emergency  physician  must  be  prepared  to  appropriately  care  for  these  patients.  Material  Safety  Data  Sheets,  regional  poison  control  centers  and  medical  toxicologists  are  valuable  resources  for  information  on  specific  hazards,  optimal  management,  and  patient  disposition.  Children  and  pregnant  women  are  patient  populations  who  require  special  attention,  the  former  due  to  differences  in  respiratory,  dermatologic,  and  gastrointestinal  physiology  and  the  latter  requiring  a  focus  on  maternal  care  in  order  to  optimize  fetal  well-being.
