Chemical Incident Tracker

The Coalition to Prevent Chemical Disasters has been tracking incidents involving hazardous chemicals since January 2021. Our map and incident database is updated weekly to reflect new incidents, sourced from media reports. 

We provide two ways for you to track recent chemicals disasters — using the map/tracker or through a searchable database that identifies the type of event, date, and location, along with links to media coverage of the incident.

This research was made possible by funding from:
