NLM Searchable On-line Databases

While there are 270 different databases available through NLM (complete list here), not every database will be helpful for Hazmat personnel.

One way to whittle down the databases to a usable number is to narrow the subject terms to "Disasters," "Disaster Medicine," and "Toxicology." This leaves you with 30 databases.
