Tox-App: a TOXMAP-like app for iOS
Tox-App lets iOS users search for industrial facilities that reported releasing certain chemicals into the environment to the US EPA TRI program. Tox-App includes a subset of about 100 TRI chemicals for the most current TRI year.

You can download Tox-App from the Apple App Store (Source: TOXMAP News)
