TOXICS RESEARCH

	ScoreCard: The Pollution Information Site Scorecard offers easy-to-use, drop-down menus to research toxics and polluters by U.S. zip code. Data is broken down by air, water, agriculture, and other types of pollution.
	EPA Air Toxics Map This resource from EPA lets you research a long list of air toxics with/without cancer risks and see how they impact your state.
	CHE Toxicants Database This database lets you investigate various health conditions, including asthma, cancer, and reproductive defects, and develop a list of chemicals known or believed to contribute to them.
	EPA Toxic Release Inventory This website lets you learn every major occasion that toxic chemicals are released or transferred by manufacturers or federal facility in the U.S. The TRI Explorer on the site lets you find this data by zip code.
	National Library of Medicine The library's website is an excellent portal to several online toxics research tools, including the Household Products Database, Haz-Map (for occupational safety professionals), TOXMAP (a GIS map tool incorporating EPA toxics data), Drugs and Lactation Database (about chemicals in breast milk), and ToxMystery (geared to children).
