CHEMTREC was founded as a free public service provided by the
American Chemistry Council
(ACC) to assist emergency responders in the event of a hazardous materials incident. ACC
represents the leading companies engaged in the business of chemistry. ACC members apply the science of chemistry to make innovative products and services that make people's lives better, healthier and safer. ACC is committed to improved environmental, health and safety performance through Responsible Care, common sense advocacy designed to address major public policy issues, and health and environmental research and product testing. The business of chemistry is a $520 billion enterprise and a key element of the nation's economy. It is one of the nation’s largest exporters, accounting for ten cents out of every dollar in U.S. exports. Chemistry companies are among the largest investors in research and development. Safety and security have always been primary concerns of ACC members, and they have intensified their efforts, working closely with government agencies to improve security and to defend against any threat to the nation’s critical infrastructure.
The American Chemistry Council is located at 1300 Wilson Boulevard in Arlington, Va., and can be reached by phone at 703-741-5000.
