Ratings and reviews

Great app to have in the field when your working. You don't need to pull out the big ol msds book anymore, just search the chemical you need info about.

Great app very convenient however. Did find some outdated information on it. Example Nitrogen Dioxide IDLH is 13ppm. Should read 20ppm. Just something I noticed.

Lots of useful info that is very easy to access
