Website Locating Harmful Chemicals in Communities

The National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National Institutes of Health, of the Department of Health & Human Services, has issued a press release announcing its new interactive website that shows-- geographically-- the amount & locations of toxic chemicals released into the environment in the U.S..

The site, called TOXMAP, is free and does not require any registration.

TOXMAP joins other web resources maintained by the group for consumer health information broadly (MedlinePlus.gov), research studies (ClinicalTrials.gov), and older American concerns (NIHSeniorHealth.gov).
