Today, we face an urgent public safety issue: communities are left uninformed about nearby chemical spills and contamination risks. Across Europe, over 17,000 sites contain 'forever chemicals,' and in the U.S., 131 million residents live near hazardous sites, yet most are unaware due to minimal regulations. Chemical spills have become a "quiet catastrophe" until disaster strikes. Chem Watch changes this by offering real-time monitoring and multi-channel alerts, bridging this critical gap. Designed to protect and empower, Chem Watch provides transparency in chemical safety.
