In response to feedback from users, TOXMAP now includes bar charts.

*Users selecting the Facilities tab will see a bar chart for each facility showing up to five top emissions estimates by chemical name as reported annually to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

*Under the Releases tab, a bar chart shows the distribution medium for the emissions of the selected chemical (land, air, underground injection (U.I.), or water) by each facility.

*Information presented under the Trends tab shows a bar chart of emissions estimates for the most recent 15 years for the selected chemical, as reported annually to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
