Superfund Sites
EPA · EPA Superfund (SEMS)
Federal cleanup-site records. These records can identify listed or proposed sites, but they do not measure exposure at a specific home.

Data sources and limitations
Toxin Scout is a public-record screening tool
Reports summarize government and public environmental datasets for a searched address or city. They do not prove whether a person has been exposed to a substance, whether environmental conditions are absent at a property, or whether a water utility serves a specific address. Use the linked official records to verify important findings.
Address and city reports differ
Address reports use the best available geocoded point and source-specific radii or administrative matches. City reports use city-level context, candidate public water systems, source polygons, administrative areas, and bounded facility browsing where available. A city report is not an address-level assessment.
Water provider matching is approximate
Public water systems often serve areas that do not match city boundaries, ZIP codes, or mailing addresses. City reports show candidate systems from SDWIS city/system-name and nearby ZCTA metadata. Confirm your actual provider with a bill, local utility, or Consumer Confidence Report.
Some data is modeled or delayed
AirToxScreen, EJScreen, flood, radon, health, and similar area datasets are context sources. Many datasets are updated quarterly, annually, or less often. Recent events may not appear until the source agency publishes them.
Unavailable sources are shown separately
A source can be unavailable because the agency API is down or city geography is not precise enough for that source. A no-results source means the source was checked and returned no matching records. Reports show those states separately.
Included public sources
Official source
Toxic Release Inventory (TRI)
EPA · EPA Toxics Release Inventory (TRI)
Annual facility self-reported release records. TRI reporting means a facility meets EPA reporting thresholds; it is not itself a violation record.
Brownfield Sites
EPA · EPA Brownfields (ACRES)
Assessment and cleanup program records. Status fields can be sparse, so unresolved status is separated from confirmed current activity.
Air Toxics (AirToxScreen)
EPA · EPA AirToxScreen
EPA modeled air-toxics screening estimates. These are statistical model outputs, not monitors at a specific address.
Drinking Water Quality
EPA · EPA SDWIS Federal Reports
Public water-system compliance records. City reports show candidate systems, not a verified provider for a specific address.
EPA Enforcement (ECHO)
EPA · EPA ECHO
Facility compliance and enforcement records. These are official program records, but facility coordinates and program flags can have source-data gaps.
Hazardous Waste (RCRA)
EPA · EPA RCRA (via ECHO)
Hazardous-waste handler and compliance records. Active handler status is separated from formal enforcement or significant noncompliance.
Environmental Justice (EJScreen)
EPA · EPA EJScreen
EPA screening indexes and demographic/environmental context. These values are context only and are not facility violations.
Water Quality (USGS)
USGS · USGS Water Quality Portal
Surface-water monitoring stations and samples. These records are environmental samples, not tap-water tests.
Risk Management Plans (RMP)
EPA · EPA RMP (via ECHO)
Risk-management-plan facility records. RMP coverage means a facility reports certain regulated substances or processes; the record does not by itself describe a current release.
Nuclear Facilities (NRC)
NRC · NRC Facility Finder
Nuclear facility location records. These records identify licensed or regulated facilities and do not measure radiation exposure at a searched location.
Community Health (CDC EPHT)
County Health Rankings · County Health Rankings
County or area-level health indicators. These values are population context and cannot identify the cause of a specific condition or exposure.
Pipeline Incidents (PHMSA)
DOT/PHMSA · PHMSA Pipeline Incident Reports
Pipeline incident records. Reported incidents are historical event records and may not describe current operating conditions near a searched location.
EPA Radon Zone
EPA · EPA Map of Radon Zones
EPA radon-zone estimates. Zones are broad screening categories and do not replace a building-specific radon test.
Underground Storage Tanks (UST/LUST)
EPA · EPA UST Finder
Underground storage tank and leaking tank records. State coverage and status terminology vary, so open and closed records are separated where the source provides status.
FEMA Flood Zone
FEMA · FEMA Flood Map Service Center
Flood-zone map records. FEMA map status is property and map-panel specific; city reports can only provide area context unless an exact address is checked.
Air Quality Nonattainment Areas
EPA · EPA Green Book — Nonattainment Areas
Air-quality nonattainment area records. These are regulatory area designations and do not measure air quality at a specific address.
Water Body Impairment (ATTAINS)
EPA · EPA ATTAINS
Water-body impairment records. These records apply to named water bodies and assessment units; they are not drinking-water compliance records.
Formerly Used Defense Sites (FUDS)
USACE · USACE FUDS Program
Formerly Used Defense Site records. These identify program sites and cleanup context where available, but site boundaries and current status can require agency verification.
Military PFAS Sites (DoD)
DoD · DoD PFAS Sites
Military PFAS site records. These identify DoD-reported PFAS investigation or response locations and should be verified against the linked official program records.
State Remediation & Cleanup Sites
State DEP/DEQ · State Environmental Agency
State remediation and cleanup records. Data availability, update cadence, and status fields differ by state source.
Air Quality Monitoring (AQS/AirNow)
EPA · EPA Air Quality System (AQS)
Air-monitoring station records. Measurements come from monitoring stations and may not represent conditions at every address in the searched city.
Hydraulic Fracturing Wells
FracFocus / GWPC-IOGCC · FracFocus Chemical Disclosure Registry
Hydraulic-fracturing disclosure records. Disclosure records identify reported well activity and chemicals; they do not establish current exposure.
How to verify records
Use the official links in each report section to confirm facility IDs, public water-system IDs, status dates, and agency labels. For drinking water, confirm the actual service provider before using a city-level candidate system as the basis for decisions. For urgent environmental, health, legal, or property questions, contact the appropriate public agency or a qualified professional.
