Template:ChemChart

Each ChemChart is created starting with the ChemChart Template, which has the title first, and second will have a number of other templates which make up the bulk of the material.

Main Template

{{ChemChart|Acid wash chemicals|type=nocas|
... rest of the stuff .. 

You can optionally add a type which specifies what variety of chemchart it is.

• nocas : Don't show the CAS column.

Chemical List Rows

These are the rows at the top of the chart, one for each chemical. They have a number of columns, and you'll fill each one out with a template that says what goes in each row.

{{ChemChartChemRow|banned|Chlorine bleach|CAS No. 7782-50-5|fire|repro|cancer|death}}

For the columns, here's what you can put.

1. Banned icon: "banned", "none"
2. Chemical Name
3. Chemical CAS #
4. Fire icon: "fire", "none"
5. Reproductive Health Icon: "repro", "repro-maybe", "none"
6. Cancer Icon: "cancer", "cancer-maybe", "none"
7. Poison Icon: "death", "none"

Sections

For the rows after the Chemical List, there will be a template for each section, which will have the section title, and the containing text

{{ChemChartSection|WHAT ARE THEY?|Acids are colorless liquids with strong smells. Acetic acid has a vinegar-like smell. Formic, hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and nitric acid have pungent, irritating odors. Acids release fumes. Nitric acid in fume}}

Subsections

Some of the ChemCharSection's have subsections, which can be created with the ChemChartSubsection template

{{ChemChartSubsection|EYES|
They severely irritate and burn the eyes and can lead to permanent eye damage, corneal scarring and blindness. See First Aid on page 175.}}

Example

Acid wash chemicals

	Chlorine bleach	CAS No. 7782-50-5
	Chlorine bleach	CAS No. 7782-50-5
	Chlorine bleach	CAS No. 7782-50-5
	Chlorine bleach	CAS No. 7782-50-5
WHAT ARE THEY? Acids are colorless liquids with strong smells. Acetic acid has a vinegar-like smell. Formic, hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and nitric acid have pungent, irritating odors. Acids release fumes. Nitric acid in fume
DO YOU WORK WITH THEM? Acids are used in electronics and garment industries. Formic acid is used in dyeing and finishing textiles and treating leather. Hydrochloric and hydrofluoric acid are used to clean wafers, chips, and printed circuit boards. Nitric acid in fume form is used to dissolve, etch, and clean metals in the electronics industry.
WHEN THEY COME IN CONTACT WITH YOUR BODY SKIN They can severely irritate, burn the skin and cause a rash, pain, redness, ulceration and permanent scarring. When hydrochloric acid touches your skin, it will burn quickly, but the skin will feel cold and numb. Treat it quickly as a chemical burn (see pages 175). When hydrofluoric acid touches your skin it will burn quickly and deeply. However, hydrofluoric burns do not show right away, so it is important to immediately wash off any area that comes into contact with it. If it is absorbed through the skin it can be fatal. See First Aid on page 66. EYES They severely irritate and burn the eyes and can lead to permanent eye damage, corneal scarring and blindness. See First Aid on page 175. NOSE/LUNGS The fumes can irritate your nose, throat, and lungs, causing coughing, wheezing and difficulty breathing. Inhaling fumes can cause dizziness and headaches. It can also create a buildup of fluid in the lungs, called lung edema. Hydrofluoric acid may be fatal because it can cause irregular heartbeat. See First Aid on pages 66 and 174. MOUTH/BELLY They can lead to injury of the gastrointestinal tract and stomach causing loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and abdominal pain. Hydrofluoric acid can burn your mouth and throat and lower your heart rate and blood pressure. See First Aid on pages 66 and 176 and seek medical attention right away.
WHEN YOU ARE EXPOSED OVER TIME: Acids can harm your liver, kidneys, and lungs. They can cause chronic bronchitis and pneumonia. Nitric acid can cause yellowing and erosion of the teeth. Hydrochloric acid can cause yellowing and erosion of the teeth. Hydrofluoric acid can cause digestive imbalance, irregular heartbeat, and affect your nervous system leading to seizures. It can also weaken or destroy your bones and cause skin problems.
IF YOU ARE AT RISK OF EXPOSURE: Use butyl gloves, an apron, and eye/face protection to keep acids off your skin (see chapter 18: Personal protective equipment). For HCl, use tyclem or Teflon gloves. For HF, use double nitrile gloves. Wear a respirator that can filter acid fumes (see Respirators on pages 266 to 270).
