C&E News, June 25, 2007 Volume 85, Number 26 p. 44-46
Scientific organizations face a challenge in communicating with the younger generation. Some organizations are dipping their toes in the waters where that generation swims--on the Web.

TOXMAP Adds Features
In response to feedback from users, the National Library of Medicine (NLM) has added new chemical and health-related data to its interactive mapping site, TOXMAP.
Released in September, 2004, TOXMAP helps users explore the geographic distribution of certain chemical releases, their relative amounts, and their trends over time. This release data comes from industrial facilities around the United States, as reported annually to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
Now, users can also use TOXMAP to find information about Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Superfund sites and substances. The Superfund program is part of a federal government effort to clean up land in the United States that has been contaminated by hazardous waste and identified by the EPA as a candidate for cleanup because it poses a risk to human health and/or to the environment.
The substances found at Superfund sites have been designated as causing or contributing to an increase in mortality or in irreversible or incapacitating illness, or posing a substantial present or potential hazard to human health or to the environment when improperly treated, stored, transported, disposed of, or otherwise managed. More than 800 substances are currently designated as hazardous, and many more as potentially hazardous.
TOXMAP has also added mortality data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), as well as age and gender data from the US Census, and income data from the Bureau of Economic Analysis.
TOXMAP links to NLM's extensive collection of toxicology and environmental health references, as well as to a rich resource of data on hazardous chemical substances in its TOXNET databases. The resource also provides fact sheets and summaries about the various chemicals, written by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, and EPA progress reports on the Superfund sites.
Since many users may not be experienced in reading maps or understanding map data, TOXMAP provides a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) and a "Glossary of Terms". Both resources attempt to provide questions/answers to supplement the user's ability to understand the map displays and the data.

Homeland Security Digital Library
The Homeland Security Digital Library (HSDL) is a new collection to which our campus has recently been granted access. Created and maintained by the Naval Postgraduate School's Dudley Knox Library, the HSDL provides "the latest research, guidance, & authoritative documents on U.S. national security and homeland defense via a well-organized, easily accessible, web-based, 24/7 digital library."
The HSDL covers a broad range of topics including: emergency management, public health, freedom of information, defense policy and doctrine, terrorism, immigration, chemical industry and hazardous substances, infrastructure protection, civil liberties-just to name a few.
Information available from the HSDL originates from a wide variety of resources such as "federal, state and local agencies, leading national and international organizations, think tanks, universities and more." Documents in this extensive collection include "U.S. policy documents, key federal publications, state and municipal documents, links to important sites, professional journal articles, multimedia materials, theses, gray literature, Homeland Security related news, a list of upcoming Homeland Security related conferences and events, and links to key agencies & organizations."
The University Libraries would like to thank the Naval Postgraduate School, Mr. David Landguth (University of Tennessee/Oak Ridge National Laboratory Center for Homeland Security and Counterproliferation), Dr. Susan Speraw (UT College of Nursing), and Ms. Bernadette Smith (USA Contractor MPSC) for their roles in making this important digital collection available.
The HSDL is accessible via the Libraries' databases/indexes page. Type the word, homeland, into the search box provided. Also, the HSDL link is available on selected databases-by-subject pages such as that for the health sciences.
For more information please contact Lana S. Dixon, Health Sciences Reference Librarian.

U.S. Surgeon General Richard H. Carmona, M.D., M.P.H., F.A.C.S., warned today in a new report that by 2020, half of all American citizens older than 50 will be at risk for fractures from osteoporosis and low bone mass if no immediate action is taken by individuals at risk, doctors, health systems, and policymakers. This new report, "Bone Health and Osteoporosis: A Report of the Surgeon General" says that 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have osteoporosis, the most common bone disease, while another 34 million are at risk for developing osteoporosis.
