What Toxin Scout does
Toxin Scout organizes public records from EPA and other government data sources into city-level pages. Each page is designed for quick scanning, source checking, and follow-up research.
The goal is simple: make environmental health records easier to access before someone makes a decision about where they live, what questions to ask, what records to verify, or what local conditions deserve closer attention.
How to use it
Search a city, scan the available categories, then open the linked source records for anything important. Toxin Scout is a screening and access tool, not a medical, legal, property, or exposure determination.
Public sources
Toxin Scout uses public datasets from EPA and other official or government-linked sources. Availability, dates, geography, and record completeness vary by source.

Important limits
Toxin Scout does not prove whether a person has been exposed to a substance, whether a property is safe, or whether a record applies to a specific address. City pages can include area context, candidate systems, modeled estimates, facility records, and historical records.
Double check all data against the linked official source records before making health, legal, property, or planning decisions.
