KnowYourExposure is a website that provides free environmental exposure reports for any US ZIP code. It brings together public data about tap water, air quality, radon risk, lead-paint-era housing, Superfund sites, and toxic releases. Water reports cover lead, PFAS, EPA-regulated contaminants, and violations. County-level information includes radon risk and air quality, while housing data identifies areas with homes from the lead-paint era. The site uses data from the EPA, CDC, and US Census and presents the information in plain English. Users can also explore PFAS and lead in drinking water, compare US counties through a National Exposure Index, review water-quality rankings, browse contamination maps, and view information by state. The tool is designed to help people understand environmental exposure factors associated with their location.
