They have a mapping system in place that identifies all the facilities 
that emit pollutants in the United Kingdom.  You can search the page by 
postal code or by clicking on a geographic area of the national map. It 
zooms in and shows the polluters as red dots.  If you click on a red dot, 
it brings up the name of the facility, the emissions for the last 3 or 4 
years into air, water, and land, and then gives a comparison of actual 
emmisions to authorized limits.  Does anyone know if anyone is doing this 
kind of work in the US?  It would be great to have a map of the US on the 
WWW that you could go to, point and shoot, and find out what facilities 
pollute and which chemicals they release.  I would appreciate any leads.  
Thanks.
