is quite an intriguing resource for anyone interested in environmental 
hazards, particularly in a specific geographic area.

Subject: TOXMAP users can create maps from their own web sites



TOXMAP (http://toxmap.nlm.nih.gov)  users can now create customized maps
from their own web sites by incorporating a simple web link.  Once on the
TOXMAP site, users can zoom in and out, pan the map, and get more
information about the facilities and chemicals represented.

Full instructions are provided in the TOXMAP FAQ entitled "How can I link
my site to TOXMAP?" (http://toxmap.nlm.nih.gov/toxmap/help/faq.jsp#39).
Examples are also included.  TOXMAP is an interactive web site that shows
the amount and location of reported toxic chemicals released into the
environment on maps of the United States.
TOXMAP allows users to visually explore information about releases of toxic
chemicals by industrial facilities around the United States as reported
annually to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA,
http://www.epa.gov/tri/). It also integrates the map display with access to
relevant bibliographic references and other data on these chemicals,
providing a map-based portal to these resources.
