Overview
EJScreen is an environmental justice mapping and screening tool that provides users with the ability to overlap data and visualize how human demographics impact environmental indicators. EJScreen users choose a geographic area in the upper right-hand search bar, then layer data such as lead paint (under the pollution header) with health disparities such as cancer to examine the health challenges facing the world today. For example, Tallapoosa County, AL is in the 35th percentile for lead paint and the 97th percentile for cancer among adults. EJScreen is a powerful tool, and users can better learn how to use it with videos and user guides on the site.
