The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which public schools in North Carolina are located close to environmental hazards and whether state policies for siting schools adequately address the potential threats posed by such hazards. We also sought to demonstrate the usefulness of GIS technology and existing data sources to map environmental hazards that are in close proximity to schools. We relied primarily on secondary data sources that were readily accessible from the web, including EPA’s Envirofacts database.
