Web Site Layout
Pages on the DCAS Web site are typically organized into six main sections. Click on any of the links below to learn more about the section. A screenshot
of one of our pages is also provided to help you easily identify each section. The numbers beside the links correspond to the numbers on the screenshot

Top of Page
- NIOSH Header/Navigation Bar
The NIOSH Header/Navigation Bar is located at the top of each page
of our Web site because DCAS is a division under NIOSH. NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS).
There are seven links on the NIOSH Navigation Bar: Search NIOSH; NIOSH Home; NIOSH Topics; Site Index; Databases and Information Resources; NIOSH Products; and Contact Us.
Please note: DCAS web content cannot be accessed through the NIOSH navigation links. These links will take you
away from the DCAS Web site.

Viewing Tips
- Adjusting Text Size
- Using Your Web Browser
If the text appears too small on this or any other Internet site, your browser may be set to the smallest text size. Most browsers allow you to change
the text size on a page. You may also be able to zoom in and out of the page using your browser. Since there are numerous web browsers and browser
versions, we cannot provide instructions on how to adjust the browser's text size on this page. Try clicking on your browser's help menu, if available,
or click on one of the links below to go to the support pages of widely used browsers.
- Changing Your Computer's Screen Resolution
If the text and graphics on your web browser and on all of your computer programs are too small, you may want to change your Screen Resolution. The
lower you set the screen resolution, the larger the text and graphics will appear. Conversely, the higher you set the screen resolution, the smaller
the text and graphics will appear. Our Web site has been designed to work on screen resolutions of 800 x 600 pixels (the web standard). If your screen
resolution is set higher than this, the text may look too small. Since there are numerous monitors and operating systems, we cannot provide instructions
on how to adjust your computer's screen resolution on this page. Please review your monitor's or operating system's Help documentation for more
information.
- Viewing PDF Documents
PDF (Portable Document Format) files located on our site require the Adobe Acrobat Reader. They are indicated by the PDF icon  that
appears to the left of the document. To avoid problems with viewing and printing, we suggest you download the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader from the Adobe
