Do You Ever Wonder What's In Your Air or Water? Go to the Environmental Protection Agency Search Your Community webpage to find out. Just type in your ZIP code and your community will pop up with an interesting menu of environmental information for your area. This tool also lets you zoom in on toxic air, hazardous waste and other byproducts. You can customize the map by choosing elements like streams and schools.

The Department of Environmental Protection has a similar eMapPA program that allows users to map all sorts of environmental and facility information in your community. Visit DEP’s Geographic Information System webpage to learn more.
