Resource Type: Map
AirCompare maps provide information for counties that monitored outdoor air quality in the last five years and tailor that information for groups more likely to be affected by different levels of pollution.
The Air Toxics Screening Assessment (AirToxScreen) is EPA's screening tool that provides communities with information about health risks from air toxics. AirToxScreen is part of EPA's new approach to air toxics that provides updated data and risk analyses on an annual basis, helping state, local and tribal air agencies, EPA, and the public more easily identify existing and emerging air toxics issues.
This map returns an inventory of stationary sources of air pollution based on origin coordinates, radius, and pollutant
Mapping tool that provides information on permitted facilities in New Jersey. The tool provides information on the reported emissions for each major and minor source, as well as current information on PM and ozone monitored air quality, and community vulnerability information.
The Health Impact Assessment site on Community Commons is an online library and hub for all things related to health impact assessment (HIA) and Health in All Policies. It hosts a searchable, filterable database of hundreds of completed HIAs, a national map to explore them by geography, vital conditions, and priority populations, and collections of guides, briefs, datasets, and training resources to help users conduct and apply HIAs in practice. Designed for communities, agencies, and practitioners, the site supports integrating health, equity, and well‑being considerations into policies, plans, and investments across sectors such as housing, transportation, planning, and education.
The Louisiana Tumor Registry website presents information about Louisiana’s statewide, population-based cancer registry, which collects detailed data on cancer cases to support prevention, early detection, treatment, and survivorship efforts. It offers resources for cancer registrars and providers on reporting requirements, and for data users—such as public health professionals, clinicians, planners, and researchers—through statistics, interactive data visualizations, cancer maps, monographs, and one-page summaries. The site also describes the Registry’s role in national programs (SEER and CDC’s NPCR), its research infrastructure (including rapid case ascertainment), and how its high-quality data are used to guide cancer control policies and reduce cancer burden and disparities in Louisiana.
ProPublica’s Toxmap is an interactive map that visualizes estimated cancer risk from industrial air pollution across the United States. Built from EPA emissions and modeling data, it shows how toxic chemicals from thousands of facilities spread into surrounding neighborhoods, highlighting hotspots where cumulative industrial air pollution may raise cancer risk to levels the government considers unacceptable. The site lets users zoom to specific communities, see which facilities are driving risk, and explore patterns of environmental injustice in overburdened areas.
EJScreen (formerly an EPA tool, now discontinued and publicly hosted) is a national mapping and screening tool that combines environmental, health, and demographic data to help identify communities that may be disproportionately impacted by pollution and other environmental hazards. It provides interactive maps and summary reports for “EJ indexes” that blend measures like air pollution, proximity to industrial facilities, traffic, and waste sites with indicators such as income, race/ethnicity, and language isolation. Agencies, communities, and advocates use EJScreen to screen for potential environmental justice concerns, prioritize areas for further study or action, and support planning, permitting, and policy decisions.
The CDC PLACES (Local Data for Better Health) tool is a free, interactive web resource that provides model-based estimates of chronic disease, health behaviors, preventive practices, disabilities, and related social factors for small geographic areas across the United States. It offers consistent data for all counties, most cities and towns (places), census tracts, and ZIP Code Tabulation Areas, allowing users to view, map, and download neighborhood-level health information to identify local health problems, disparities, and needs and to guide targeted public health planning and policy.
