Info Pro Publica: US Map of Cancer Hot Spots from Air Pollution

[Paratus]

The Most Detailed Map of Cancer-Causing Industrial Air Pollution in the U.S.

Using the EPA’s data, we mapped the spread of cancer-causing industrial air emissions down to the neighborhood level. Look up your home to see if you and your loved ones are living in a hot spot.

This is pretty cool. Plug in your zip code and see how much of a risk increase in cancer from air pollution you have.

EPA accepted air pollution/cancer risk is a risk increase of 1 in 10,000

Heres a pic of Houston for example.

Interesting, but it looks like it leaves off air pollution caused by motor vehicles, which can be quite substantial for people living around highways and along major thoroughfares in cities.

The map only addresses stationary facilities that are required to report emissions. Vehicles, agricultural sources, and legacy sources (closed facilities such as mines and former plants) aren't shown even though they are significant contributors to air pollution.

Trying to reduce these types of emissions in a sane manner is communism.
