What are your sources of data?

Most of our data is provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The EPA has made data files available from November 12, 2013 on its website. The agency is currently implementing a new information system called the Superfund Enterprise Management System (SEMS). As soon as more current data is made available through this new system, we will update Toxic Sites. Our chemical health effect information comes from Risctox. The census and population information comes from the Missouri Census Data Center, a project of The University of Missouri.

I would like my organization to be listed as a contact on a Superfund site page. How do I do that?

If you are a community-based non-profit dedicated to a Superfund cleanup or a Community Advisory Group (CAG) and want to be listed on the Toxic Sites’s Superfund page for your site along with the EPA, please send us a message using our Contact Us page. Include your name, title, address, phone number and website.

How do you upload video or audio to a Story?

If you want to add video or audio to a Story, please first upload the file to YouTube or Vimeo (for video) or SoundCloud (for audio). After you successfully upload the file, follow the site's directions for copying the embed code (like these from YouTube). Next paste that embed code into your Story using the "Source Code" button in the Story editor menu (that is the last button on the right that looks like this < >).

Why did you build this site?
