Technical advancements during the last few years have lead to mobile phones being highly prevalent among the working population. PocketPCs for time scheduling are widely distributed and developments towards more and more compact and high-capacity all-round devices with PocketPC functionality, telephone and navigation functions are continuing.

The Model for Effects with Toxic Gases (in short, MET®) was developed as a tool for making rapid decisions enabling fast hazard assessments during catastrophes. Up to now, one had to have a copy of the MET booklet and a book with the relevant Tox data at hand to enable one to make an assessment. Now the following applies to MET® for PocketPC: mobile phone at hand – MET® at hand!

Our latest product the MET® for PocketPC closes the gap between the MET® tabular work in book form and the PC version. It can be compared to a ‘pocket knife’ with its various functions for everyday tasks.

You can find information by means of the UN Nr. or parts of the substance names relating to the desired substance rapidly using this version. Examples ADR, chemical substance data, ERI cards (Emergency Response Intervention Cards), unit conversions and of course MET® with the critical distances outdoors and indoors relating to the release of a toxic gas (analogous to the MET® tables).
