Search for Environmental Contamination by Your Address

In my weekly research on hot new environmental topics, I ran across this from 'The Good Human' blog.  There is a website that allows you to enter in any street address and search for any documented signs of environmental contamination around the surrounding area.  The EDR GreenScreener allows anyone to check and see if their property is free from potential environmental hazards.  How awesome is that?!?

The EDR GreenScreener detects 5 different types of environmental concerns that may exist on or around the property.  It also can tell you if there had been prior environmental contamination in or around the area and records of any environmental hazards are searched within 1/3 of a mile from the property.  Where possible, the EDR GreenScreener reviews only active environmental concerns as defined by governmental agency records.  Environmental concerns at these sites may or may not have been resolved, so further research may be required once you find out about any potential hazards.  You can check out your own home or business address by clicking here and entering in your address information.
