This information will be used to develop case studies and demonstration of GIS applications at NACCHO's annual conference in September of 1998. The project is also developing a GIS fact sheet that will answer basic questions related to start-up, cite available resources, and highlight potential uses of GIS applications using pollution prevention activities as an example. Pollution prevention activities are those that lead to: (a) reduction of the amount of any hazardous substance, pollutant, or contaminant entering any waste stream, or otherwise released into the environment prior to recycling, treatment, or disposal, and; (b) reduction of hazard to public health and the environment associated with the release of such substances, pollutants, or contaminants. Sites selected for case study will receive an expense paid trip to the NACCHO '98 Annual Conference to demonstrate their GIS application. Please send or call with information on GIS applications that specifically lead to pollution prevention activities and/or address pollution prevention. Include contact information, the type of application, purpose, outcome, and lead agency and other agencies involved.
