This page from the United States Environmental Protection Agency provides information on many significant environmental health issues. In addition to providing general interest information on topics like radon, acid rain, and asbestos, the site also delivers an interactive resource that allows users to learn more about concerns specific to their area. Under Where You Live, visitors may enter their own location to access a special MyEnvironment section of the site. Here one can access air and water quality data or view an interactive map of their local area. The map feature provides data on Superfund Sites, risk of cancer due to environmental concerns and much more. A section with teacher resources, games and quizzes for K-12 students is also provided.
