Great Lakes Environmental and Economic Data Visualization Tool
In 2015, the Great Lakes Regional Pollution Prevention Roundtable (GLRPPR) began a project to analyze public data sets to determine the impact of manufacturing on the economy and environment of the six states in U.S. EPA Region 5. The project’s goal was to use the analyzed results to assist pollution prevention technical assistance programs (P2 TAPs) with targeting their assistance efforts. The project resulted in a report, a series of fact sheets, and a data visualization tool.
The tool uses data from U.S. EPA’s Toxics Release Inventory and Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory, as well as the Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns data set.
