TOXMAP




TOXMAP is a Geographic Information System (GIS) from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) that uses maps of the United States to help users visually explore data from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s [1] Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) (http://www.epa.gov/tri/) and [2] Superfund Programs (http://www.epa.gov/superfund/index.htm).

The data shown in TOXMAP comes from:

  • EPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) [3]
  • EPA Superfund Program/CERCLA [4]
  • NLM Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)[5]
  • NLM TOXLINE (Toxicology Bibliographic Information)[6]
  • Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR [7]
  • National Atlas of the United States of America (USGS)[8]
