How can I get environmental information about where I live ? (city, county, state, etc.)

The "Where You Live" Web page provides access to information sources, tools, and databases that can be used to learn more about environmental conditions in your community: http://www.epa.gov/epahome/whereyoulive.htm

Another useful site is the EPA for Citizen Action Resources web page. This site deals with environmental issues and potential environmental and human health risks caused by pollution: http://www.epa.gov/epahome/citizen.htm

The "Choosing Where You Live" publication offers publicly available information sources and guidelines for consumers to use when evaluating different geographic areas: http://www.epa.gov/ttn/atw/tolive.html

You may also wish to contact your Regional EPA office. Each regional office contains documentation and statistics on environmental issues and violations in the states they have jurisdiction over. To find your Regional EPA Office go to the "About EPA" page and click on the "Regional Offices" link: http://www2.epa.gov/aboutepa

Contact information, including postal addresses for Regional Offices are listed at: http://www2.epa.gov/aboutepa/mailing-addresses-and-phone-numbers#regional
