OSHA makes data on toxic chemical exposure available online
In keeping with the President's memorandum on open government, OSHA has 
released 15 years of data detailing workplace exposures to toxic 
chemicals. The data, available on OSHA's Web site, is comprised of 
measurements taken during the course of inspections, including exposure 
levels to the hazardous chemicals asbestos, benzene, beryllium, cadmium, 
lead, nickel, silica, and others. It can offer insights into the levels of 
toxic chemicals commonly found in workplaces, as well as how exposures to 
specific chemicals are distributed across industries, geographical areas 
and time.
