Abstract
The handbook describes methods of finding chemical use and economic information in reference, on-line, and industry sources, and evaluates many current sources which contain information such as physical/chemical properties, chemical functions and applications, and production/consumption quantities. Sections 1-3 describe steps that can be followed to learn basic information about the uses of a chemical and the economics of those uses, either by chemical or by use. Appendix A evaluates over 100 sources in a standard format that displays the type of information in the source, the means of access to the information, organization of the information, and limitations or difficulties in utilizing the sources. Appendices B- provide lists of sources for different kinds of information and lists of different kinds of sources.
