Researchers: Online Tools
These interactive online tools provide students with access to environmental information including environmental conditions, pollutant information, and other environmental issues like air and water quality.
Window
to My Environment
This powerful Web-based tool provides a wide range of federal, state,
and local information about environmental conditions and features in your
area of choice. By entering a zip code or a city and state name, a user
can retrieve an interactive map that shows the location of regulated facilities,
monitoring sites, water bodies, population density, and perspective topographic
views. In addition, this tool provides geographic statistics about a user's
area of interest, including estimated population, county/urban area designations,
and local waterbodies and watersheds. Users can also retrieve federal,
state, and local information on environmental issues like air and water
quality, watershed health, Superfund sites, fish advisories, and impaired
waters.

This online tool provides users with direct access to environmental information
contained in various EPA databases including hazardous waste, Superfund
information, toxic releases, facility information, risk management plans,
grants/funding, water permits, and drinking water contaminant occurrence.
The database allows a user to input their zip code and obtain environmental
information specific to their geographic location. Users can specifically
search for information on waste sites and waste activities by choosing
the Waste link.
