PH 172 / PH 265: Environmental Health

EPA's goal is to provide an environment where all people enjoy the same degree of protection from environmental and health hazards and equal access to the decision-making process to maintain a healthy environment in which to live, learn, and work.

This website provides access to several EPA databases to provide you with information about environmental activities that may affect air, water, and land anywhere in the United States. With Envirofacts, you can learn more about these environmental activities in your area or you can generate maps of environmental information.

EJSCREEN is an environmental justice mapping and screening tool that provides EPA with a nationally consistent dataset and approach for combining environmental and demographic indicators.

TRI is a resource for learning about toxic chemical releases and pollution prevention activities reported by industrial and federal facilities.

Hazardous waste information is contained in the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act Information (RCRAInfo), a national program management and inventory system about hazardous waste handlers.

BRS database contains biennial reports submitted by generators of hazardous wastes and facilities that treat, store or dispose of hazardous wastes.

Use AQ Statistics - iADAM to create tables for county level air quality.
