The Health Impact Evaluation Tool (HIET) is a website that helps residents of Louisville learn about air pollution in their area. It focuses on a type of pollution called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which can affect health. The tool uses data from EPA’s AirToxScreen to show current and historical estimated pollution levels for different neighborhoods.
To use the tool, enter your address in the search box and click 'Submit.' On the next page, you'll see a list of VOCs found in your area. Each one will be marked in green, yellow, or red to show how the levels compare to Louisville averages. Click on a VOC to see more details about its levels and possible health effects.
