Title
Network Analysis of Toxic Chemicals and Symptoms: Implications for Designing First-Responder Systems
Abstract
The rapid and accurate identification of toxic chemicals is critical for saving lives in emergency situations. However, first-responder systems such a s WISER typically require a large number of inputs before a chemical can be identified. To address thi s problem, we used networks to visualize and analyze the complex relationship between toxic chemicals and their symptoms. The results explain why current approaches require a large number of inputs and help to identify regularities related to the co- occurrence of symptoms. This understanding provides implications for the design of future firs t- responder systems, with the goal of rapidly identifying toxic chemicals in emergency situations .
