About this app

The “Chemistry in Everyday Life” app provides general information about chemicals in everyday products and provides information about potential health risks and legal classifications of chemicals. It offers chemical substance data for the general population.
The data content, particularly with regard to health information, is still being developed and is constantly being expanded.
The Chemistry in Everyday App is based on the database of the “ChemInfo” system, which is operated and maintained by the federal-state cooperation project “Federal and State Chemicals Information System”.
In the app, information on around 100,000 substances can be intuitively searched for and found using different tiles. You will find, among other things, molecular formulas, information on the state of aggregation, the nature of the substance and boiling and freezing points. In addition, possible uses and health risks are specified and reference is made to legal regulations in which the substance being sought is contained.
Various search interfaces can be used to search for specific chemicals using molecular formulas, E numbers or substance names, among other things. You can also find out what information is hidden behind the orange warning sign. These warning signs can be found, for example, on trucks that transport heating oil. The app is also equipped with a barcode scanner that can be used to scan EAN codes of products. This means the ingredients are displayed directly in the app. This eliminates the need to enter complicated chemical names; they can be selected directly from the ingredient list to get more detailed information.
