NPG is intended as a source of general industrial hygiene information
on several hundred chemicals/classes for workers, employers, and occupational
health professionals. The NPG does not contain an analysis of all pertinent
data, rather it presents key information and data in abbreviated or
tabular form for chemicals or substance groupings (e.g. cyanides, fluorides,
manganese compounds) that are found in the work environment. The information
found in the NPG should help users recognize and control occupational
chemical hazards.
