   Can I mix those chemicals?

   There's an app for that!   
      
   Improperly mixed chemicals cause a shocking number of fires,   
   explosions, and injuries in laboratories, businesses, and homes each   
   year.   
      
   A new open source computer program called ChemStor developed by   
   engineers at the University of California, Riverside, can prevent   
   these dangerous situations by telling users if it is unsafe to mix   
   certain chemicals.   
      
   The Centers for Disease Control estimates 4,500 injuries a year are   
   caused by the mixture of incompatible pool cleaning chemicals, half of   
   which occur in homes. Even in laboratories and factories where workers   
   are trained in safe storage protocols, mix-ups and accidents happen,   
   often after chemicals are inadvertently combined in a waste container.
