The National Library of Medicine is pleased to announce a new design for the Tox Town website, which provides consumer-level information on everyday locations and situations where toxic chemical exposure might occur.

The new design, informed by extensive user research has:

• Enhanced search optimization
• Improved readability

New Tox Town features reflecting consumers’ frequently asked questions include:

• New Community Action Tools Page with guidance for community engagement and resources for finding local data
• Newly added Reduce Your Risk information with practical steps to avoid and address exposure
• New content organization into Sources of Exposure and Chemicals and Contaminants rather than previously used neighborhood scenes

Due to low usage, the website no longer contains Spanish language materials.
