The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce a new design for the Tox Town Website (see Figure 1), which provides consumer-level information on everyday locations and situations where toxic chemical exposure might occur.
The new design, informed by extensive user research, will:
- Enhance search optimization
- Improve readability
The new Tox Town features, reflecting consumers' frequently asked questions, include:
- New Community Action Tools Page with guidance for community engagement and resources for finding local data
- Newly added Reduce Your Risk information with practical steps to avoid and address exposure
- New content organization into Sources of Exposure and Chemicals and Contaminants rather than previously used neighborhood scenes

Due to low usage, the Website no longer contains Spanish language materials.
