ChemiNet

"Building a global network of partners was an essential first step in strengthening international cooperation for alert and response to chemical events. This network is called ChemiNet .

ChemiNet was set up in response to the need for strengthening international cooperation in chemical incident reporting, verification, investigation and response. ChemiNet is a network of consultants and experts in countries.

The objectives of ChemiNet include:

1. Providing an early warning and alert system for the prompt investigation of events of chemical or possible chemical etiology.
2. Establishing and strengthening preparedness and rapid response mechanisms.
3. Strengthening local capacity for surveillance, investigation and rapid response.

Members of ChemiNet include Poisons Centres, WHO Collaborating Centres, departments at WHO HQ, in regions and countries, analytical laboratories and academic institutions, as well as individual consultants and experts."
