Dang, rapid heartbeat should have become a link to tachycardia, http://www.ilpi.com/msds/ref/tachycardia.html  I'll fix that right now. Along with "dicholoromethane", "numbness and tingling" and "consciousness".  Been a while since I rand sheets through there to train it.

There is a version of this feature on the American Association of Chemistry Teachers web site at
https://teachchemistry.org
where you get to identify the kinds of materials for which audience you can search for.

We have a team of CHAS members who are beginning to look at implementing something similar for the CHAS web site and it's 300+ items in the web sites archives. The project is an interesting mix of chemical safety expertise and information science...
