TOXMAP's maps now have a more accurate appearance. (For more information on how maps are drawn, see the FAQ.)

Other new TOXMAP features include:

  • TRI releases summary table for each TRI facility showing all years and chemicals in table format;
  • Larger default maps (with the option for small maps);
  • Enhanced homepage map;
  • Auto-completion of chemical names in text entry fields (like Quick Search);
  • A "For Teachers" page that includes a downloadable sample assignment.

TOXMAP is a Geographic Information System (GIS) from the Division of Specialized Information Services of the U.S. National Library of Medicine® that uses maps of the United States to help users visually explore data from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) and Superfund Program.
