C&PE 613 Chemical Engineering - Design Project: Chemical Resources
This guide integrates engineering and business resources for various aspects of the chemical engineering industry. It includes markets, pricing, chemical properties and reaction, and patent information resources.
The Beilstein handbook of organic chemistry is a comprehensive source of evaluated data for organic compounds and includes corresponding literature references. The source is in German until the Fifth supplement which is in English. Holdings in the KU Libraries continue until 1995. The value of the source is particularly for the older literature pre 1910 which is not covered in SciFinder.
The volumes are held in Anschutz Library at QD 251 .B4. Each volume of Beilstein concentrates on a group of structurally related compounds. The title is composed of the following sections:
1. Main work (Hauptwerk, abbreviated "H") covers the literature up to 1910.
2. First Supplement (Erstes Erganzungswerk "EI") covers 1910-1919.
3. Second Supplement (Zweites Erganzungswerk, "EII") covers 1920-1929.
4. Third Supplement (Drittes Erganzungswerk, "EIII") covers 1930-1949.
5. Fourth Supplement (Viertes Erganzungswerk, "EIV") covers 1950-1959
6. Fifth Supplement (Funtes Erganzungswerk, "EV") covers 1960-1979.

Environmental Impact & Sustainability: Web Resources
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Database provides information about EISs prepared by federal agencies, as well as EPA's comments concerning the EISs.
Environmental Impact Statements are documents resulting from studies by federal agencies that consider the environmental impacts of proposed actions and reasonable alternatives to those actions. They are required by the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) for certain actions that may have significant affects on the quality of the human environment.
One of the world's largest collections of environmental impact statements. This site provides clear instructions on how to search for an environmental impact statement in the Transportation Library catalog.
OSHA maintains this chemical database reference for the occupational safety and health community. It includes information from government agencies and organizations including physical properties, exposure guidelines, and emergency response information.
Public health registry of hazardous substance information in the environment including assessments of waste sites, hazardous substances, health surveillance and registries, and more.
The Chemical and Substance Resources search provides information about chemicals, biological organisms and other substances tracked or regulated by EPA.
