• Ability to zoom to the United States (US) national parks via "Zoom to a Place"
• Ability to toggle on and off the "auto-zoom" behavior in the main Search page
• PubMed® RSS feed
• Section 508 compliance improvements
  
  

TOXMAP is a Geographic Information System (GIS) from the Division of Specialized Information Services (SIS) of the US National Library of Medicine® (NLM) that uses maps of the United States to help users visually explore data from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)'s Toxics Release Inventory and Superfund Program.
