Upwind Report

Environmental hazards around where you live

Upwind Report maps environmental hazards county by county, starting with farm chemicals. The first one on the map is glyphosate: look up estimated use on farmland in your county, from 2000 to 2019. It's free for every county in the lower 48 states, built from public USGS estimates.

The map

Today the map shows estimated farm glyphosate use, county by county and year by year. More hazards will follow.

About the data

The glyphosate numbers are estimates. USGS estimates how much each county's farms used, and that total is divided by the county's land area. They don't show which fields were sprayed.

Every number comes from a public source, named wherever it's shown. Glyphosate use comes from Hengl & Brungard from USGS county estimates, 2000–2019 (CC BY 4.0).

Upwind Report shows where numbers are higher or lower. It doesn't say what causes what, and it isn't medical advice.
