TOXMAP now includes several interface improvements, updated mortality data (2001-2005), and names and locations of hospitals when the map is zoomed to the most detailed level.

Other recent changes include:

  • Ability to view Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting releases in a particular TRI year, similar to TRI chemical releases
  • Inclusion of links to [link removed] TRI state fact sheets
  • Ability to zoom to the United States (US) national parks via "Zoom to a Place"
  • Ability to toggle on and off the "auto-zoom" behavior in the main Search page
  • PubMed® RSS feed
  • Section 508 compliance improvements

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