About This Project

This web app maps out Superfund sites and emission events across Texas, making it easier for the public to visualize and understand environmental risks in their communities. Instead of combing through government spreadsheets and databases, users can now see sites on an interactive map, view contaminants present, and explore real-time air quality rankings in their area. At its core, the tool is about environmental transparency and accessibility — helping individuals, families, and communities stay informed about nearby environmental hazards. Data is pulled from public APIs and refreshed regularly, so the map is always up to date with the latest information.
