Communities have a right to know about the pollution, toxics and other environmental risks where we live, work and play. The EJ Mapping Tool provides information about pollution and toxic risks in the Twin Cities. It provides you with information about what pollution exists in your neighborhood and where they are located.
The EJ Mapping Tool lets you compare environmental risks across communities based on race and income. This allows you to identify environmental and health risks you may face, and advocate for yourself, your family, and your community.
