C-FERST Environmental Issue Profiles
An Environmental Issue Profile is a report that contains links to information about a specific environmental or health issues. Some profiles also contain maps that show local estimates of concentrations and risks, such as benzene levels in air and the associated estimated risk of cancer in a given area. The information in these profiles can be used to explore and learn more about environmental issues, exposure and risk reduction actions, and what other communities have done to address these. The Issue Profiles do not contain information on every environmental issue. On the right side of the screen below, you can select a category of different lists of Issue Profiles. Some issues are found in multiple lists, and all of them are located in the alphabetical list. Please view the Questions and Answers for more information about the Issue Profiles. (These will also be used for Tribal-FERST, which is currently under development.)
