Hazard flags
Automatic warnings for carcinogens, toxins, and explosive reagents.
Hazardous reagents and solvents in route trees are automatically flagged with warning badges. Look for yellow (warning) or red (danger) icons on molecule cards.
Hazard categories
- Carcinogens — benzene, formaldehyde, carbon tetrachloride, etc.
- Reproductive toxins — DMF, NMP, toluene at high exposure.
- Explosive / shock-sensitive — azides, peroxides, diazo compounds.
- Acutely toxic — cyanides, osmium tetroxide, phosgene.
- Environmental hazards — mercury compounds, chromium(VI), halogenated solvents.
Where hazard data comes from
Hover over any molecule to see detailed hazard information in the hover card, including:
- Severity level — warning (yellow) or danger (red)
- Hazard category — which class above applies
- Source — GHS, OSHA, or ACS GCI
